This boat is an absolute ripper, takes care of itself, goes fast, attracts fish and eliminates all
cloud cover. Recommended to all boaties who like to sit back and relax and not be required
to drive the boat … But seriously folks, this is one of the designers favorites. When you have
a boat that is small enough to tow behind a 4 cylinder car, yet large enough and with a
sealed deck that you can go 10 miles offshore, that makes for absolute versatility.
The designer and all of the “aker” owners, use these boats as off road camping boats. This
means we take all of our camping gear in the boats, tarped over and into remote fully self
sufficient camping locations where there is ocean nearby. You can get the fully loaded
towing weight between 1200 and 1400 kilograms on the trailer.
Note: A “Two Person” centre console is included in the kit. This console also houses 2 x 25
litres portable plastic outboard fuel tanks
Now updated with longer side sheets and a ‘swallow tail’ transom design, all at no extra
cost. THIS INCREDIBLY POPULAR HULL IS NOW 4.8m DUE TO THE BUOYANT SWALLOW TAIL
TRANSOM AND INSET OUTBOARD DESIGN
