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 by McAlpine Marine Design (MMD), this 8.5m aluminium hardtop is a no-compromise, WA-built offshore performer, 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. The hull design, 21' deadrise and plate construction provide a soft, predictable ride with the strength to handle demanding offshore use.
Why This Boat Stands Out:
o Custom WA Plate Build - Designed for real offshore conditions with no compromise, built by experienced fabricators with pride in their work
o Twin Yamaha 300HP V6 4.2L Outboards - Proven, powerful, and efficient. DES, Helm Master joystick piloting and GPS position hold.
o Turn-Key Package - Fully optioned and ready to fish or go cruising immediately
o Near-New Condition - Avoid build times, cost blowouts, and uncertainty with this tried and tested vessel
o Massive Deck Space & Fishing Layout - Built for serious anglers and families, excellent space throughout
This boat will suit someone who:
o Wants to fish out wide, comfortably and safely
o Values build quality over brand badge or cheap entry price of imported builds
o Is considering alternatives like Genesis, Razerline, Oceanic, Lux, Bar Crusher, Stabicraft, or Oceanworx--but wants something substantial and purpose-built
o Needs a true offshore platform
