Can-Am Defender XMR HD10 Side-by-Side
Mud is no match for Can-Ams new Defender XMR HD10, which is specially designed to run through muddy terrain with ease. A 72-horsepower Rotax HD10 V-Twin engine provides the torque, and a lockable differential and 30-inch mud tires provide the traction youll need when the going gets tough. Snorkeled engine intakes prevent stalling in even deep water and mud. The Defender XMR is available in Mossy Oak Break-Up Country camouflage. can-am.brp.com

Go-Devil 18 x 60 Hunt Deck
Go-Devil is now offering an optional hunt deck for its popular 18 x 60 Surface Drive Boat. Like the boat, the deck is constructed of 1/8-inch-thick 5086 alloy aluminum. The hunt deck provides more area to hunt from but does not increase the actual length of the boat. All hunt decks are high transom (20-inch transom height) and provide extra stability and versatility. godevil.com
