img2868Powerboat magazine was founded in 1968 by Robert Nordskog, an entrepreneur, philanthropist, lifelong boating enthusiast and successful racer. Merging two fledgling publications to form what has become "the world's leading performance boating magazine," Bob Nordskog charged into publishing with a passion equal to that of his racing career.

Over the past 34 years, Powerboat has established itself as a leader in the marine-publishing industry. When the subject of racing or testing boats comes up, the name Nordskog and Powerboat magazine aren't far behind. Powerboat continues to cover the most exciting segment of the marine industry and put the latest boats to the test.

For nearly 30 years, the Powerboat test team has gathered to conduct its annual Performance Trials, testing approximately 70 new boats, from family bow riders and cuddy cabins to potent offshore machines. Throughout the spring months, Powerboat publishes the results of its tests and accompanies the reports with outstanding photography and design, and easy-to-read graphs and fact boxes. These performance reports are the most respected in the marine industry and the most trusted among performance-boating enthusiasts. As a culmination of the months of testing, Powerboat rewards the best-of-the-best with its Awards for Product Excellence presented for Performance, Workmanship, and Value as well as "Boat of the Year". These reports and awards are part of what has made Powerboat a recognized leader in the marine industry.

Powerboat also delivers comprehensive racing coverage, from offshore events to Unlimited Hydroplanes and Formula One boats. It also reports in depth on the latest innovations that shape the performance marine industry and profiles the people behind the products.

If you're looking to get the most out of high-performance boating, Powerboat magazine will bring it to you like no other.
