START YOUR ENGINES... IT'S BOATING SEASON!
Summer's
finally here. Boaters across the country are eagerly launching their
craft, getting ready for another season of fun and excitement on
the water. From what I've seen and heard, all indications point
to our waterways and marinas enjoying a busier season than ever.
This is a perfect
time to promote the boating lifestyle we enjoy to those still on
the shorelines. And a new national campaign recently sprung into
action on the Canadian boating scene to do just that. Discovering
Boating has a primary obejective to attract 150,000 new boaters
to our waterways by 2006. This goal is not only set to create increased
participation, but to maintain a strong economic and positive foothold
on the Canadian boating industry. And Power Boating Canada is at
the forefront in full support!
We are committed
to promoting the boating lifestyle, just as we have for the past
16 years. If you know someone interested in power boating, there's
no better gift than to pass on a copy of this magazine. As a leading
influence on Canada's waterways, we report the latest and most exciting
new waves in the industry. From exclusively boat tests to exciting
features and products, you can count on Power Boating Canada to
entice those on the shore to get behind the helm. This issue proves
it!
Whether you're
a first time boat owner or a seasonal cruiser looking for a second
craft, our 20/20 Spotlight highlighting 20 boats under 20 feet has
something for you. These runabouts are loaded with power and amenities
sure to fill your summer fun with exciting boating experiences.
Check out the
latest in diesel power with Senior Tester Doug Dawson as he puts
Mercury's new 1.7L powerplant through its paces on Stingray's 200
MS centre console. On a larger note, read how Regal is pushing the
envelope for the sport cruiser market with their pinnacle 4160 Sport
Cruiser.
As true boating
enthusiasts, safety is always a concern here at Power Boating Canada.
Safe boating is happy boating. So before you load up and venture
out on the water, double check your safety list and keep the proper
gear on board to ensure a safe and happy boating season. Also, make
sure to drop by and say hi at one of the many events we will be
covering this summer. See you on the water! (Top)
