Yes, they’re usually accurate as far as they go. For example, the performance figures — speeds at various RPMs, fuel burn data, etc. — are quite reliable although it’s always wise to keep in mind that these are new boats with light loads and plenty of factory preparation.
Don’t look for a lot of hard-hitting criticism in these tests, however, because boating magazines depend upon high perfomance boat manufacturers for a major part of their advertising revenues.
