A New Standard in Bay Boats
The Stejcraft 570 Krakin Bay is a purpose-built inshore fishing machine that also offers the comfort and practicality of a family boat. This model is a testament to Stejcraft's commitment to innovation and craftsmanship, designed to tackle a variety of waterways, from shallow flats to choppy nearshore conditions. Its unique design and solid construction make it a strong contender against more expensive imports, offering a high-quality Australian-made alternative.

Design and Key Features
The Krakin 570 is a center console boat with a layout optimized for fishing. It features two expansive, elevated casting decks at the bow and stern, providing anglers with excellent sightlines when targeting fish in shallow water. The deck at the bow is particularly large, extending over the hull topsides. The console is wide enough to provide some shelter and can be folded back to reduce storage height. The boat's design includes a flat floor for safety and easy cleaning, as well as ample storage, live wells, and rod holders.

Build Quality and Construction
Like other models in the Stejcraft lineup, the Krakin 570 is built with a 100% composite, wood-free construction, ensuring it won't rot and requires minimal maintenance. The hull is made with 11 layers of fibreglass, giving it exceptional durability and a sleek finish. Stejcraft also backs this boat with a 5-year warranty on the hull's structural components, showcasing their confidence in its build quality. The use of composite materials results in a lighter hull, which contributes to better performance and fuel efficiency.

Performance and Handling
The Krakin 570's performance is driven by its innovative "Carolina Flare" hull design and a 13-degree deadrise. While this is not as steep as some offshore-focused boats, it is an optimal design for stability and a shallow draft of just 0.35m. This combination allows the boat to navigate tight, shallow channels with ease while still providing a smooth and dry ride in choppy bay conditions. The boat planes quickly and handles corners with a flat, stable stance, making it a joy to drive. It's perfectly suited to engines from 115hp to its maximum of 150hp, offering great speed and responsive handling.

The Verdict
The Stejcraft 570 Krakin Bay is an impressive and versatile vessel that is truly setting a new standard for Australian-built bay boats. Its clever design, rock-solid stability, and premium construction make it an ideal choice for both serious anglers and families looking for a functional and enjoyable boat for inshore and sheltered water adventures. It's a fantastic example of a wellengineered boat that blends practicality with high-end style.
