Monterey Boats would like to introduce the newest addition to the Monterey Boats website-an enhanced build-a-boat
program. The newly re-designed build-a-boat feature will give customers the ability to create, customize and design
their perfect Monterey.
Featuring vivid imagery, an enhanced hull colour/graphic configurator, and an easier to use, more informative engine selector, the new program has been designed to create that “on the water” dream from virtually anywhere. With the enhancement of this new build-a-boat program, the configurations are limitless.
“This new program features a user friendly design, and a vast array of options; it is our hope this new tool will provide a way for our customers to experience Monterey at an entirely new level,” said Kim Loenichen, Director of Sales at Monterey Boats.
Visit http://www.montereyboats.com/buildaboat/ or go to http://www.montereyboats.com, select the model of your choice, and select build and price. You’ll be immediately directed to the new program where you can navigate through, choosing from every possible colour combination, graphic option, engine choice, and optional feature available.
And when the perfect Monterey Boat has been created? In a few clicks you will be able to continue on to either print or email your “Perfect Monterey” to yourself, or you will have the option of sending your custom designed Monterey boat to the dealer of their choice.

X Shore EELEX 8000
By Andy Adams
100% Electric performance available now
When we arranged to interview the designer and manufacturer to write a profile of the X Shore Eelex 8000 for the June 2021 issue of Canadian Yachting magazine, it was on the understanding that we always prefer to actually drive and experience the boats we write about, and we were especially keen to drive the X Shore when BCI Marine here in Canada, got their first boat from Sweden.
There has been a lot of media attention around everything electric lately, especially electric vehicles, but so far, most electric boats are a concept, not yet a reality. The X Shore Eelex 8000 is a reality and a very impressive one at that.
Neptunus 650E
By Andy Adams
Last August, we were again invited to the Neptunus Yachts facility in St. Catharines, Ontario to run and review their latest yacht, a 202650E at their marina by Lake Ontario. Keen readers of Canadian Yachting might recall reading about a Neptunus 650 back in 2016 and while this is the same proven hull, Neptunus is a custom builder and the 2022 650E here has a totally new interior design and layout.
Neptunus builds bespoke yachts. The reality is that no two Neptunus Yachts are the same. Each is individually tailored to its owners tastes and activities and is finished to their specifications.

The Lady-like Atmosphere of Ladysmith
By Marianne Scott
Instant towns have sprung up in the past, especially on the BC coast. In the late 1850s, Victoria grew overnight into a tent city when hordes of prospectors stopped by to provision for their quest to get rich in the Fraser goldfields. The tents were followed quickly by brick hotels, stores and brothels. Prince Rupert began as a tent town after it was chosen as the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway’s terminus, then built more permanent structures.
But no place went up overnight like Ladysmith, where coal baron James Dunsmuir moved his miners “stock, lock and barrel” after coal seams further north on Vancouver Island had been exhausted.
Lifestyle
By Andy Adams and Allegra Smith-Herriot
From cottage boats to luxury cruisers, there have been a host of major design changes over the past decade and the latest boats for 2022 are significantly different from the new models we saw back in 2012. To better understand what is driving these design changes, we contacted the designers, product specialists and marketing experts at several of the top boat builders.
More than anything else, we learned that people’s lifestyles are changing, and boats are changing to serve those new priorities. Maybe you will see your own boating plans reflected in their comments.

Choosing a Marine Surveyor
Story and photos by Timothy J.S. Martin
It seems like everyone has their “guy”, usually a marine surveyor they either know personally or have been referred to by another boater (or someone in the marine or insurance industries). Marine surveyors are often hired based on this type of referral, rather than on the merits of their qualifications and skills.
I often hear boaters express their displeasure about an experience where a marine surveyor “condemned” a boat, or the surveyor was viewed as unreasonable in relation to their recommendations. As a result, surveyors known to be less thorough and less detailed in their work tend to be favoured by boaters, especially for insurance surveys.
