Ally Craft Bar Raider
Well, there's nothing more daunting than launching your boat at a ramp on a busy weekend. Who hasn't seen partners arguing over how to launch their boat, or someone who takes just too much time - while a big line-up of boaties waits behind them. Just the recipe for ramp rage!
The answer is to choose a boat that's simple to launch - all by yourself.
The Allycraft Bar Raider 475 has an internal keel, which makes it light and simple to launch.
The Bar Raider is what they call a deluxe runabout… a good-sized trailer tinny that you can easily take fishing offshore.
It has the highest freeboard on the market - in other words, nice high sides which give a safe, comfortable ride.
It also has underfloor flotation for extra safety.
For its size, the bar raider performs very well. And because it has a light hull and no external keel, it's great on those tight corners.
This boat is designed to cover all bases. Creature comforts like the canopy and swivel seats are perfect for family cruising.
Or you can fold away the seats to make room for serious fishing.
These tinnies don't just roll off a production line. Allycraft believes in craftsmanship - so one skilled boat builder follows the process right through from bare shell to finished boat.
But they're still affordable, because Allycraft designs are no-fuss and no-frills.
They're a strong boat, no bells and whistles, no gadgets or marketing, it's a boat that works, and offers value for money.
When it comes to fishing versus family, the Bar Raider keeps everyone happy. It's powerful enough to go fishing offshore - comfy enough to cruise around the broadwater.
Or if you're like me, you'll want to amp up the action and really put this baby to the test.
The Bar Raider 475 runs on a maximum of 75 horsepower. We used a Yamaha 70 which gave it plenty of grunt.
