JULY 2011-JAN 2012CIRCULATIONA new slice of
elegance from the
German manufacturer,
the 548 is a fast cruiser
that presents space
and comfort in Hanse’s
traditional style – with
many features you’d
only expect in a much
larger vessel.THE RAT EFFECTFitted with one of
Mercury’s new 175hp
V6 outboards, this
iconic design takes
full advantage of the
Merc’s sophisticated
performance.We preview a
selection of the
new Swedish-
designed-and-built
OXE outboards –
including a compact
200hp turbocharged,
four-cylinder unit.When too many rats
are squeezed into
too small a space,
things can turn ugly.
A similar psychology
operates with crew- hopefully without
the bloodshed – so
choose your boating
mates carefully.
