The Minn Kota Terrova 55lb GPS bow-mount is the best electric trolling motor overall in , pairing accurate Spot-Lock anchoring with a one-touch deploy/stow lever and Digital Maximizer for up to 5x longer battery runtime. After spending weeks on the water comparing ten different motors across fresh and saltwater, our team found that GPS-enabled bow … Read more

When boaters ask us which marine GPS unit they should buy in , we give them the same answer we use ourselves on our test fleet: the best overall marine GPS chartplotter for the money is the Lowrance Elite FS with its 3-in-1 Active Imaging transducer. We’ve spent the last three months on the water … Read more

A working VHF marine radio is the single most important safety tool on any boat. When your cell phone loses signal three miles offshore, when fog rolls across a busy shipping lane, or when a crew member goes overboard, channel 16 and DSC are what bring help. I have spent the past three months testing … Read more

Last summer, I watched my 68-year-old father try to climb back into our pontoon after a swim. The plastic folding ladder flexed under his weight, his foot slipped on the narrow tread, and my heart jumped into my throat. That same weekend, I replaced every ladder on my boats and started the research that became … Read more

Our team spent the last three months riding, swapping, and side-by-side testing the eight best wakesurf boards you can buy in .

We soaked paintbrushes, bathed two large dogs, drained mop buckets, and hand-washed paint-stained overalls in every model. The … Read more

Finding the best laundry sinks used to feel like an afterthought for me. Then I spent a weekend hauling muddy garden tools through my kitchen and realized how much I needed a dedicated utility sink. After testing 8 freestanding and undermount models over six weeks, including filling them with paint buckets, soaking comforters, and even … Read more

I have spent the past three months testing ceramic, vitreous china, and porcelain vessel, drop-in, and undermount options in real homes and rental units, and I want to share what actually held up, what chipped, what splashed everywhere, and what my honest … Read more

I spent the last three months installing and living with ten different above-counter sinks across two bathrooms and a guest powder room, and the verdict is clear: the best vessel sinks in are not the most expensive ones. After timing how fast water drained, how often I wiped up splashes, and how many compliments I … Read more
