If you've been searching for a serious offshore plate boat that's already built, dialled in, and ready to go--this is one of the most compelling options currently available in the Australian market. Designed by McAlpine Marine Design (MMD), this 8.5m aluminium hardtop is a no-compromise, WA-built offshore performer, built for extended range, bluewater fishing, and harsh conditions.
This is not your average trailer boat, this is a commercial-grade recreational weapon, engineered for capability, reliability, and serious time on the water. The hull design, 21' deadrise and plate construction provide a soft, predictable ride with the strength to handle demanding offshore use.
Why This Boat Stands Out: o Custom WA Plate Build - Designed for real offshore conditions with no compromise, built by experienced fabricators with pride in their work o Twin Yamaha 300HP V6 4.2L Outboards - Proven, powerful, and efficient. DES, Helm Master joystick piloting and GPS position hold. o Turn-Key Package - Fully optioned and ready to fish or go cruising immediately o Near-New Condition - Avoid build times, cost blowouts, and uncertainty with this tried and tested vessel o Massive Deck Space & Fishing Layout - Built for serious anglers and families, excellent space throughout
This boat will suit someone who: o Wants to fish out wide, comfortably and safely o Values build quality over brand badge or cheap entry price of imported builds o Is considering alternatives like Genesis, Razerline, Oceanic, Lux, Bar Crusher, Stabicraft, or Oceanworx--but wants something substantial and purpose-built o Needs a true offshore platform
Performance & Capability o Twin Yamaha 300HP V6 with electronic steering, Helm Master joystick piloting, GPS Position Hold o 6mm hull, 5mm sides, 4mm superstructure & decks for robust offshore capability o Excellent load-carrying ability o Confidence in variable conditions o Redundancy for extended trips
Helm & Electronics Well-appointed and set up for serious use, including: o Garmin electronics suite with twin 16" MFD's, autopilot, radar, 3 x transducers o Clean, functional dash layout with excellent visibility from enclosed wheelhouse o Zipwake trim tabs o 12V Airjet Air Conditioning system for utmost comfort in the tropics
Fishing & Deck Layout This is where the vessel really shines: o Large, uncluttered cockpit with plenty of rod holders and rocket launchers o Practical fishing space with in floor kill tank, live tank, built in bait board with heaps of tackle storage o Built for trolling, bottom fishing, and extended trips with mates and family o Storage and access designed with real-world use in mind o Proper toilet/shower with electric flush o Spacious V-berth for weekend trips
Condition o Presents in excellent, near-new condition o Clearly a well-considered and well-maintained build o No immediate spend required
