BOATS
New Barron Boats Continues LegacyJerry Barron is ready to follow the footsteps of his
father, boatbuilder Nick Barron of Hallett Boats,
with his own take on the company. Barron Boats will
unveil four new boat models over the next year and
a half, starting with a 29-foot deckboat in May. The
29 Sport is a family-friendly boat with contemporary
styling and amenities “unlike anything else currently
on the market,” according to a press release. Barron is
currently accepting orders. A smaller 25-foot, 6-inch
Sport deckboat will be unveiled next. In 2019, the last
two models will be introduced to the boating world.
Both will be center consoles with deep-V hulls.

Lowrance Launches
Software Updates
Fishing just got a lot easier and
more fun. Lowrance announced the
release of a new software update for
HDS Carbon, HDS Gen3 and
Elite-Ti displays that includes
sonar enhancements, new automatic
routing functionality and improvements for C-MAP charting.
FishReveal is an exciting new sonar feature that makes fish easier to see on
DownScan Imaging. Unlike traditional CHIRP views
that provide strong fish targets but lack refined structure
detail, or DownScan Imaging that provides photo-like
images of bottom and structure details but show fish
targets as tiny dots, FishReveal smart target viewing
blends the best data from both technologies, eliminating
the need for split-screen viewing and interpretation.
The upgrade also includes significant enhancements to
StructureScan 3D and StructureScan HD; the addition
of C-MAP Easy Routing and Navionics Dock-to-Dock
Autorouting capability; plus, a new, easy-to-interpret
C-MAP navigation palette.
