CES Coverage is over, so on this episode of The Giz Wiz, we have two great videos from The New York Boat Show!
In addition for writing for MAD Magazine, and for the Match Game, for 40+ years I also wrote a monthly column for Powerboat Magazine. And since I owned several smaller facing boats and spend a lot of time I boats I was invited to be part of their semi-annual boat test team.
Over the years I was aboard quite a few test boats, several hundred over all those years.
Fountain 43 SCX
Many of them were from Formula and Fountain boat builders.
So at the NY Boat Show I took a look at a model from each of them. When you see this week’s show, you won’t be surprised that they range in price is from $1 million+ and 2 million+. But it’s a boat show, so it cost nothing past the admission fee to look! The boat show video from this week’s show is also linked below.
Formula 457 CCS
Since you really don’t get to see the entire vessel at a boat show, here’s a photo of the Fountain 43 SCX and the Formula 457 CCS, as they look on the water.
