Flycraft 445F


So, this is a Flycraft 445f, a modern take on the Haines 445f centre console from the 1980s.

This hull was built in 2024, by Johson Bros Marine in Sydney, it is what they call the 445F MKII, has no timber, has a F60 mercury command thrust motor, with stainless steel 3 blade propellor, 100 litre petrol fuel tank, has a high quality easytow trailer (manufactured in Victoria), including a walkway down the port side, has a motorguide XI5 electric motor, quick release bracket and anderson plug connection, with a 100ah lithium BLA battery, wireless remote, a brand new Humminbird explore 10 sounder (professionally installed by Brisbane Marine, about 3 months ago) with Coastmaster electronic map card.

A fantastic centre console, I have used it for fly fishing for pelagics in Moreton Bay, chasing bass up at Tiaro, night fishing for snapper around mud island.
They make them with a 25inch transom, so a bit higher than the old haines 445f.

Lots of extras, including ;
two blue stern lights (below water level),
white LED strips under the internal gunwales (so you can see at night).
Port side transom bait tank, plumbed.
Starboard side transom storage box, with lid
Fuel water separator.
Fold down cleats (3)
Rod holders in the gunwales (4)
Horiztonal rod holders, with tubes, (3 per side), setup for fly rods, (9foot) but work fine with 6 or 7 foot spin rods.
Cooper anchor and 4m of chain and 48m of silver anchor rope.
Motorguide Xi5 electric motor, 55lb, 54", on quick release bow bracket, including a 100ha BLA lithium battery and BLA lithium charger (there is an app to check the status of the battery, I can send details).
Easytow trailer is galvanised, with mechanical disc brakes, and C section frame (see photos), 7 pin flat electrical plug.
It is the SF4.6-13S model, tare 1400kg, single axle (over engineered for this hull, but tows really well)
Stainless steel propellor (see photo).
Gunwale stainless steel grab rails (2)
Console stainless steel grab rail
Port side duck board (small, see photo)
upgraded 100 litre, below deck, fuel tank
Dometic baystar hydraulic steering
Foam filled hull (great safety)
Bilge pump
All through hull fittings have seacocks to close them as nescessary
Boat cover (2+ years old, so getting on a bit) and rear tie down straps
Humminbird xplore 10 sounder with console bracket, transducer and spray cover (see photo)
Mercury Smartcraft SC1000 Digital Tacho
Navigation lights (port and starboard LEDs in the gunwale, and white light pole for the stern)

26 hours on engine !!! (see photos)
Annual service just completed, so next one not due until end of 2027.

The boat and engine, etc are Dec 2024 build / purchase, really low hours.
Annual services performed by Brisbane Marine (Mercury Premier Service Centre)

It is on trailer boat hardstand storage at Lytton, Qld 4178, if you want to come and take a look over.

Selling as I have a yacht, so don't have time to spend on both boats.
