  Powerboat Magazine-High-Performance Boating   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
Powerboat magazine was founded in 1968 by Robert Nordskog, an entrepreneur, philanthropist, lifelong boating enthusiast and successful racer.
Powerboat continues to cover the most exciting segment of the marine industry and puts the latest boats to the test.
For nearly 30 years, the Powerboat test team has gathered to conduct its annual Performance Trials, testing approximately 70 new boats, from family bow riders and cuddy cabins to potent offshore machines.

 Powerboat   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
At speed, the 240 powerboat is steady and strong, delivering all necessary adrenaline to boarders and skiers in wakes that maximize the hoo-hah, thanks to reversed chines and the exceptional stability and control resulting therefrom, most especially in turns tight and true.
Ultimately, the 200 powerboat speaks to value, enduring value involved both in splendid days under a welcoming sky and in retained equity when you decide to explore a bigger Cobalt powerboat.
Here’s a powerboat that stands up to serious fun -- boarding, diving, a strong run to dinner across the bay -- and all in the family will find something to like in the 220.

 Powerboat Plans
Suffice to say that a hull with a V at the transom or 20 degrees or over can be safely classified as a deep V and in my opinion should not be described as a long distance or passagemaking cruising powerboat.
Deep V planing hulls, depending on the particular design, can be driven at speeds in excess of 50 knots, however most are designed to cruise at speeds between 30 to 35 knots.
Almost all planing powerboat hulls are of single chine configuration and most have 'chine flats' or 'planing chines' and occasionally 'planing strakes' that assist with getting onto, and maintaining the planing attitude.

 AVault | PC | Powerboat Racing Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
There is nothing quite like the sounds of water splashing as your boat carves its way through the waves, the smell of the lake or ocean, and the pure exhilaration and sense of speed boating gives you.
Powerboat Racing is a racing game at heart that offers a good mix of graphics and gameplay to make the title worth playing.
The most important part of Powerboat Racing is its ability to give players the "feeling" of racing across water...very different from a car racing game or any other racing title, because water does not stay flat.
