SeaVee unveiled the 370Z at the 2015 Miami Boat Show, the latest new center console boat in its Z performance line. Like the other Z models, the 370Z features a cross-ventilated twin-step hull that produces greater speed and fuel efficiency. The patent-pending hull features Speed Rails™ that improve directional stability to keep the boat safely tracking in the desired direction during high-speed maneuvering. Designed as an offshore fishing machine, the 370Z has the facilities to impress the most demanding of anglers, including large insulated fish boxes forward with the option for two additional insulated fish boxes in the aft cockpit. Twin 40-gallon, longitudinal transom live wells, one on each corner of the transom, provide ample bait capacity while making room for additional aft cockpit space. A live-well pump system keeps bait alive and healthy by virtually eliminating the aeration problem typically found with stepped-hull boats. The dedicated transducer pad allows for flush mounting large commercially rated transducers that can mark the bottom in very deep water while underway. Creature comforts include an optional retractable forward bench seats or twin loungers, aft cockpit seating, and freshwater shower and head. Powered by triple Yamaha F350-horsepower engines, the boat runs more than 70 mph at top speed and cruises at 45 mph. (305) 759-6419; seaveeboats.com
