Bar Crusher refines its fishing HT Series

Bar Crusher has communicated its understanding of what serious anglers
really want with its latest HT series of hard-top boats. Designed to
improve your boating and fishing experience, the 575HT right through to the 780HT model now boast new innovations and advancements.

Among the new features is Bar Crusher’s exclusive Game Lock coaming, which is a gunwale/sidedeck incorporating a 45-degree angle on the inner edge, which – along with the secure toe-kicks – allows you to lock yourself into an extremely comfortable and secure position while fighting big fish.

The Game Lock coaming is also slightly narrower than previous gunwale/sidedeck designs, which makes what was already a very spacious cockpit fishing area even bigger, yet is still plenty wide enough for anglers to comfortably sit on during long days on the water.

The new HT designs are complemented by re-designed rocket launchers and slide-opening side windows as standard (670HT, 730HT and 780HT), while fresh paint schemes now see the hard top colour-match your selected hull.

Bar Crushers says bow rails and grab rails have also been upgraded, and the newly-designed bowsprit adds further strength and smoother anchoring to these tough offshore fishing boats.

At the helm, Bar Crusher has redesigned the dash of the 615HT, 670HT, 730HT and 780HT to accept up to a 16” multi-function display, with plenty of space still available for the installation of digital gauges, trim tab controls and other switches.

The new dash layout is more vertical than previous models, which allows everyone onboard to view flush-mounted displays/screens from anywhere in the boat, and features a handy shelf for secure placement of mobile phones, lures and other small items.

Bar Crusher’s R&D team has also designed a new roller-door lockable cabin, which is available as an option on the 730HT and 780HT.

The Australian boatbuilder says all its models have the Waveslicer deep-V, non-pounding hull for an ultra-smooth ride; Rigideck engineered sub-floor system for maximum hull strength; and Quickflow water ballast technology for excellent stability at rest.

The 575HT and 615HT also benefit from Bar Crusher’s new Gen2 hull with a wider downturned chine running forward, wider chine aft and a distinctive Delta Flare V-shaped planing plank. The yard claims the result is greater hydrodynamic lift for more efficient planing and improved fuel economy, a higher bow attitude and better spray deflection for a drier ride.

Bar Crushers are sold as factory-rigged packages on a custom-designed trailer, which ensures towing, launching and retrieving is a breeze. A Bar Catch system also allows for single-handed launch and retrieve. More from your dealer and see www.barcrusher.com.au.
