New IOD at South Shore Marine

IOD

June 20, 2017

June is a busy month for every boatyard and South Shore Marine is no exception. While the yard concentrates on the work at hand they have put their new IOD, Zephyr II, outside to await finishing touches.

Yard owner Shawn Mulrooney says there has been plenty of interest but, as yet, no buyer. Shawn plans to complete the boat in time for some summer racing and Chester Race Week. The local IOD fleet has been growing lately, helped in part by the success of Nova Scotia crews in racing in New England and Bermuda. GC

Pursuit S268 Sport CC

By Andy Adams

The Pursuit S 268 Sport centre console is a do-it-all kind of boat with a solid sense of style. Centre console designs have been developed for the southern blue water sport fishing enthusiasts (and this boat would raise fish with the best of them) but the Pursuit S 268 Sport centre console offers far more utility and enjoyment than just fishing.
