Wow, John Crawford Marine has landed yet another sensational fishing boat with this heavy duty, heavily optioned, custom built Makocraft 481 HD side console.
Designed and built for the angler wanting a very capable, voluminous plate sided 4.8m side console to fish the inshore reefs and safely crab the esturaies.
Made with a fully flat cockpit floor for ease of walking around on elderly feet, internal tie down points to secure the pots, even a professionally made Oztrap Pro 300 pot hauler to help lift the pots, even the trailer is fitted with a HD electric trailer winch to offer assistance at the ramp.
The boats design and layout is testament to Makocraft's design team and the retailer whom has extensively fitted out this rig with quality array of features and accessories from electric trim tabs / deck wash / electric anchor winch as pictured.
Side Consoles are the ideal fishing set up as the console being side mounted allows unimpeded access all around the deck and this in turns allows docking to be easier, chasing the fish of a lifetime easier and hauling the crab pots.
Overhead a large 4 bow bimini provides shade from the midday sun and this can easily fold back into a targa position or be completely lowered (crab pot hauler removed) for towing and storage purposes.
The console is well presented with a 9" touch screen Garmin combo unit featuring mapping card and linked to a side view transducer. Honda engine instrumentation, a quality Fusion stereo system and both Lenco trim tabs controls and the Muir electric anchor drum winch for the anchor!
This rig has the lot!
Like all fishing boats saltwater deck wash, a plumbed live bait tank and dual battery set up is a must that this rig has aboard along with a bait prep table, underfloor storage and a boarding ladder / platform for ease of re-entry after pumping the yabbies!
The Motor
We all want four stroke power and the rig is powered by a freshly JCM Certified, Honda 80Hp four stroke. The BF80A is a perfect power match for the big Makocraft delivering exceptional performance, fuel economy and Honda reliability. Range is assured with a 70l underfloor fuel tank fitted.
Recorded a low 252 hours and further backed with JCM reassurance of a BIA engine warranty.

On the Trailer
Again the owner spared no expense with the choice of trailer to go under his pride and joy, a top of the range Dunbier HD Alloy I Beam framed ACL5.0B trailer was chosen and fitted.
This has in turn made both trailering easy and launching and retrieving at the ramp. An experienced boatie could drive and off and a heavy-duty electric winch has been fitted for additional support.
What a rig! And how much would this be to replace on today's market - no change from $65K+
