James Bond would be jealous - this month we've been out in three great getaway boats, the XO 240 RS, Sealegs amphibious RIB and Goldfish 23. We put them through a series of challenges to find out which deserved the title of ultimate sportsboat. Our big boat test this month features the Beneteau Flyer GT49 Fly, a lot of very cool boat for the money.
