Bar Crusher's brand new 650 hull series hits the sweet spot in Australia's 6.5m trailerboat market.
Initially available as a cuddy cabin (650C) and hard top (650HT) with other configurations to follow in due course, the 650 sits between Bar Crusher's popular 615 all-rounder hull and well-proven 670 offshore hull.
The new 650 hull incorporates all of Bar Crusher's exclusive technologies — Waveslicer deep-V hull design for a smooth ride, Rigideck engineered sub-floor system for maximum hull strength, Quickflow water ballast technology for excellent stability at rest, and the SafeTank advanced fuel system. Precision-tuned for performance, the 650C and 650HT each feature a 215L fuel capacity and are rated to carry up to a 200hp outboard engine.
Bar Crusher's understanding of what serious anglers want in a trailerable offshore fishing boat is as evident as ever in the 650 series, with the introduction of the FW-X transom. Complementing the comfortable Game Lock coaming that defines the spacious cockpit fishing area, the new FW-X transom accommodates larger capacity batteries, incorporates an 80L livebait tank and has built-in twin livebait tubes. Capable of keeping a couple of rigged slimy mackerel, yakkas or other baitfish alive and without tangling, a larger-diameter single tube is available as an option, which is ideal for keeping a rigged striped tuna ready for switch baiting.
At the helm, the functional dash allows flush-mounting of the latest large screen multi-function displays [650C up to 16" MFD; 650HT up to 19" MFD], with plenty of space still available for the installation of digital gauges, trim tab controls and other switches.
A newly-designed bowsprit allows the [optional] anchor winch to sit deeper in the bow, while the hinged anchor well cover ensures the winch is neatly tucked away from the elements.
Inline with the preferences of many offshore anglers, the 650HT will be popular among people with the space to store one. For those with storage height restraints, the 650C's folding hard top and windscreen reduces its overall storage height by up to a metre, without sacrificing any of its offshore capability and all-weather protection.
Renowned for quality construction, superior performance and maximum fishability (with a range of standard features other manufacturers charge as extras), every Bar Crusher boat is factory-packaged on a custom-designed trailer, which ensures towing, launching and retrieving is a breeze. Self-centering and aligning perfectly every time, Bar Crusher's innovative Bar Catch system also allows for single-handed launch and retrieve.
The 650C and 650HT are available to order now through your nearest Bar Crusher dealer.
