New Model: Everglades 367CX

Everglades is the next brand to enter the larger dual console sizes as they debut the 367CX which is to be followed by a seven foot larger sister. You can see that large dual consoles are on the rise, as Everglades expands the size after it debuted in the genre in 2012 with the 230 Dual Console, which was followed by the 340 Dual Console which arrived in 2019, and this 367CX replaces.  The 367CX debuts what Everglades calls the Crossovers range, and apart a three part hard-top and deck space from fore to aft, brings also a nice cabin with accommodation for two, a galley and separate head.  The trick in the Everglades 367CX is the rotating aft settee in the center of the cockpit, which can change the settee and wet bar position; settee can become from forward looking to a mezzanine, while the summer galley can turn from a social gather on the aft into the protective area under the hard-top.   The Everglades 367CX is powered by twin Yamaha 350hp as standard, and or optional engines up to Yamaha 450hp, with Mercury's 400 and 425hp offered in between.  To be fair I think the standard engines give a very good performances, and also the best litres to nautical miles which goes up to 328 nautical miles at 28 knots.

New Model: Intrepid 35 Panacea

Intrepid presents its completely new 35 Panacea, which debuted at the 2026 Miami boat show.  The 35 Panacea signals a complete new design direction for Intrepid, a revolution rather then an evolution for the Florida based builder who looks at others, in particular the Boston Whaler Realm and Tiara LS models.  For over forty years and from its 30 Console Cuddy debut model Intrepid was different and among the first in doing cabin-center-consoles hybrid boats and becoming the easy choice for those who wanted accommodation, performance, and sport-fishing features in one boat.  Now that everything is a hybrid, even center consoles are coming with cabin spaces and more entertaining features today than what they yesteryears, Intrepid is not the outcast anymore, founding itself in a need to compete.  The 35 Panacea does nothing wrong, with its caveat being that it does not look like an Intrepid at all, for example why they did not keep the beautiful stern as previous recent models, rather then this new basic sloop stern look.  The problem with the 35 Panacea is this, that you could put any sticker to it, and it would be a great boat, with the Intrepid badge it is a matter for the brand aficionados to cast the votes.

Following the A46 Luxury Tender which arrived in 2021 it was a matter of time for Cranchi to follow it with another second Luxury Tender, enters the Cranchi A32 Luxury Tender and like the four meters larger sister comes again from a design of Christian Grande.  The ten meter size has always been big for Cranchi since it became a World known name back in the eighties.  Do you remember the 31 Endurance from the eighties? It was in short words the Cranchi which road mapped the Italian builder to international fame.  With the A32 Cranchi does not forget how important this size has been to its success.  The A32 unlike its larger sister is not a full walk-around and more a hybrid day-sport-cruiser style, with a drop-down bulk-head to port side to increase cockpit space and connection to the sea at anchor.  While not a walk-around the A32 is still about exterior and cockpit spaces, easy to use from stern to bow, but cabin space is also interesting, offering a forward C-shaped dinette which transforms to a double berth, mini double berth at midships, and a wet-head to starboard.  The Cranchi A32 is powered by twin Volvo 280hp gas engines coupled to stern drive propulsion, with options for larger twin 350hp, and or 270hp diesels.
