Boat Range & Descriptions

BOAT RANGE & DESCRIPTIONS

1.9 METER. tender/dinghy, has built in positive floatation & id virtually unsinkable, weighs only 24kgs, is very versatile & very easy to handle by one person. This little tri-hull is not quite as stable as the 2.2m Cat hull below, but is still a very good versatile boat, will take up to a 3 hp motor with an all up carrying weight of 150kg. These are 2 layer hand laid fibreglass, normal gel coat colour is white, different colour is $100 extra. This little tender comes with rollick blocks, fully sealed seats & a tow cleat fitted to the front as well as white gunwale rubber.

2.2 METER. tender/dinghy, has built in positive floatation & as shown, is unsinkable, weighs only 38kgs,is very versatile & very easy to handle by one person, extremely stable. For as little as $100 extra you can order this tender in any colour, so you can colour co-ordinate it to your boat. This little tender is fitted with rollick blocks & can be rowed or fitted, to the reinforced transom, with an outboard motor, from 2hp to 8hp.

3.2 METER.

The 3.2m tender/dinghy, beam 1.3m weighs 45kgs & is the same construction as the 2.2m with positive floatation. The 3.2M, fits snugly into a utility, very easy to handle & extremely stable, best handled by 2 people. This boat is a great all rounder & can have extra small seats fitted in the bow sections of each sponson, as shown in second last photo, for extra buoyancy. This unit can take up 18hp & has a strengthened transom as depicted in the photos. You can order any colour for an extra $100, to co-ordinate to your choice or your current boat. The last two photos show the enhanced, new flat floor, which allows for total ease of movement, as you can see, this floor rune the entire length of the boat & is 15 inches or 38cms wide. This makes it very to cast, while standing totally sideways & also gives much more buoyancy to the boat, the only drawback is the increase in weight, the extra floor adds approx. 30kgs to the weight of the boat.

H Here are some photos of one of our 3.2m tenders set up for bass fishing, & one of the prize fish caught out of this rig.

4 METER.

The 3.95m, (4meter) open runabout, has a beam of 1.8m, height of 600mm, weighs 260kgs, also has positive floatation & can be fitted with only one engine, up to 50hp,(note the pod fitted to eliminate cavitation.) or we can fit a rear extension pod, as shown in the last photo, which will then take 2 engines @ 30hp each. This is a very versatile boat, with the usable area of a 6 meter mono hull. All up this boat weighs 600kgs all up with 2 motors on a trailer & has a 200mm draft in the water loaded. The trailer for this model is very light & exempt from brakes, proving the all up weight is below 750 kg. The twin motor set-up may need brakes, should the whole package exceed 750kg. The photos below are of a new version of the 4 meter, with no full deck. This boat is specifically for the open Bass & open river fishing enthusiast, the photos depict one in construction with locker & small front, platform/deck, flat collision bulkhead floor & open plan. This boat only weighs 180kg & is almost half the price of the full deck model.

4.6 &5.2 METER.

The 4.6m & 5.2m are the same construction & appear very similar, the one shown is a 5.2m & has the "Targa Bar" & raised soft top. Both these models have full floatation with sealed sponsons, flat floor, twin bunks, twin swivel seats, swim platform & live bait tank built in, easy to tow & very versatile boats, with more useable room that a 7m mono hull. Very stable at rest & extremely good in rough conditions. These two versions are normally powered by twin 70hp or 90hp outboards, with twin 100 litre fuel tanks. Larger fuel tanks can be fitted if required. The beam is 2.35m & the draft fully loaded is 300mm, with a freeboard of over 600mm. The overall weight on a tandem axle trailer is approx 2 tonne.

6.6 METER.

Next is the 6.6m Open Runabout, Cuddy Cabin, Sportsman, Open Hardtop, or Cuddy Cabin Hardtop. This is probably the most versatile boat of all with plenty of room, coupled with great performance, good sleeping facilities & long range fuel capacity. They are all 6.6m long, with a beam of 2.5m & range in weight from 1400kgs to 1700kgs, they come standard with 2x210 litre under deck fuel tanks, self draining cockpit, moulded rear duckboard & live bait tank facility. They can be powered with minimum 2x100hp to maximum 2x250hp motors. This size gives you the same usable area as an 8.5 m mono hull,& is by far the most popular of our range. We have a tandem axle, fully galvanised, trailer available for this model, with electric breakaway breaking system, the trailer is adjustable for various carrying variations. This model complete comes in at under 3000kgs. on the road. There are some photos of a new one under construction & a view of the factory.

7.5 METER.

The 7.5 meter is the largest legally towable size in our vast range of boats, like the 6.6m, these come in Open Runabout, Cuddy Cabin, Sportsman, Hardtop & Cuddy Cabin Hardtop. These boats are 7.5m long with a beam of 2.5m weigh from 1550kgs through to 1840kgs. They are very popular with the professional divers, Abalone Divers, Cray fishermen, as well as many Government Agencies, including Tasmanian Police force. The extra payload is vital for these uses as well as being able to utilise the extra length for a longer foredeck & therefore a much bigger cabin & sleeping quarters. All our trailers for these models also have the electric breakaway system with the complete package on trailer weighing approx 3400kgs.

10 METER.

Layout of the 9 meter Express Hardtop Rescue Vessel.

The 10 meter express Hardtop or Flybridge Cruiser is probably the best example of style, comfort & performance all rolled into one. From the 9 meter upward, these size vessels are not legally towable on the roads without a special permit, with the width being 3.65 meters. The photos above show the pleasant style & the internal comfort of a 10 meter Hardtop & Flybridge models, one powered by twin 225 hp outboards. The others by inboard diesel motors, the choice is yours. They can be fitted with straight shaft drives or Stern-drive units. These vessels have 2 full cabins, 1 in each sponson, a full size shower & toilet, kitchen & dining area as well as a well set out driving & control station in the main cabin as well as on the flybridge, & a large rear deck area. In survey this vessel can carry up to 18 passengers & 2 crew, or for the private owner up to eight people can be comfortably accommodated. Standard capacities are 500 litres of fuel either side, 300 litters fresh water & 300 litres live bait tank. This vessel will cruise comfortably at 32 knots & handles any conditions with effortless ease.

The internal layout can be designed to suits your individual needs. This model also comes in the form of a fully functional working vessel with the traditional hardtop cruiser design & enormous rear deck, which in 2C Survey, gives in calm water, 32 passengers & 2 crew or 50 nautical miles to sea, 22 passengers & 2 crew.
