December 4, 2025 Several things happened on the same day, lighting up a giant bulb over my head. First, I came across an article on the Greavette Streamliner, published in our magazine in November 2018 . Then, on the news, the CBC was visiting the Chapman Ice-cream factory in Markdale, ON and a pre-fab home builder…
December 4, 2025 I knew my friend Peeter had sold his sailboat and was looking for a new powerboat. Nonethless, I was surprised when he posted this on Facebook. Could this be the one? Your shots are our Photo of the week. Send them along to photo@opmediagroup.ca . This one will be tough to beat!
It can easily be argued that an engine is the heart of the boat: it is the single most important piece of equipment aboard to get you where you’re going (and to keep you safe on the way).
