Bar Crusher has edge on competitors

ALUMINIUM plate boats are popular in the NQ fishing community and there are an increasing number of manufacturers but Australian- made Bar Crusher boats have positioned themselves at the premium end of the market.

Through innovative and clever design, attention to detail, thoughtful layout, quality construction and top materials, Bar Crusher has developed a strong range of durable models to suit most fishing applications in North Queensland.

Plate boats draw strength from a quality sub- floor frame that supports, braces and stiffens the hull. Bar Crusher’s Rigideck floor system ensures great structural integrity through the use of Bar Crusher’s sub- floor framing, where the cross frames are secured to the welded infloor and is boxed and triangulated in all directions.

Most boats rock and roll a bit when the weather gets ordinary. Bar Crusher boats have superior stability because of Bar Crusher’s Quickflow water ballast technology. At rest, the cavity in the hull fills with water to become ballast. As the boat moves forward the tank quickly empties and the boat shoots up onto the plane. A flap can be fitted to keep the water in the cavity for additional weight in the boat should conditions require.

Every Bar Crusher boat comes with a custom- designed trailer and the Bar Catch system to provide for quick and safe one- person launching.

All Bar Crusher boats stocked at Townsville Marine have features most North Queensland customers expect: long- range fuel tanks, hydraulic steering, live bait tanks plumbed, quality alloy bait boards, dual battery systems, C- Tek charging ports, LED accessory kits and high- capacity bilge pumps.

The best way to understand how well these boats perform is to take one for a water test. Talk to the team at Townsville Marine; they will be happy to show you over the range of open, cabin and HT models. Bar Crusher boats are proudly Australian made in their hi- tech factory in Victoria.
