McAlpine Marine Design MMD 8.5m Aluminium Hardtop - 2024 Custom WA-Built Offshore Weapon

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 and constructed by McAlpine Marine Design, this 8.5m aluminium hardtop is a no-compromise, WA-built offshore performer, purpose-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.

Why This Boat Stands Out
o Custom WA Plate Build - Designed for real offshore conditions, not inshore compromise
o Twin Yamaha 300HP Outboards - Proven, powerful, and efficient with excellent redundancy
o Turn-Key Package - Fully optioned and ready to fish immediately
o Late Model / Near-New Condition - Avoid build times, cost blowouts, and uncertainty
o Massive Deck Space & Fishing Layout - Built for serious anglers

This vessel represents a rare opportunity to step into a high-spec custom build without the typical 12-24 month wait and escalating build costs.

This boat will suit someone who:
o Wants to fish wide and safely
o Values build quality over brand badge
o Is considering alternatives like Bar Crusher, Edencraft, or Oceanworx--but wants something more substantial and purpose-built
o Needs a true offshore platform, not a compromise trailer boat

Performance & Capability
With twin 300 Yamahas on the back, this vessel delivers:
o Strong offshore cruising capability
o Excellent load-carrying ability
o Confidence in variable conditions
o Redundancy for extended trips

The hull design and plate construction provide a soft, predictable ride with the strength to handle demanding offshore use.

Helm & Electronics
Well-appointed and set up for serious use, including:
o Garmin electronics suite
o Clean, functional dash layout
o Excellent visibility from enclosed hardtop
o Designed for long days offshore in comfort

Fishing & Deck Layout
This is where the vessel really shines:
o Large, uncluttered cockpit
o Practical fishing workflow
o Built for trolling, bottom fishing, and extended trips
o Storage and access designed with real-world use in mind

Condition
o Presents in excellent, near-new condition
o Clearly a well-considered and well-maintained build
o No immediate spend required

We regularly assist interstate buyers and can help with:
o Transport anywhere in Australia
o Coordinating inspections
o General purchase support
