Australian boats making their public debut, new outboard engines, locally designed anchoring systems, the wildest boat wrap colour schemes, a new passage-making charter boat, and the perfect sharpener for fish filleting knives – they’re just a few of the attractions at the upcoming Mackay Boat Show.
The Mackay Boat Show, based at the Mackay Marina on Mulherin Drive, runs from 9am to 5pm Saturday June 21 and Sunday June 22 and will become the focal point of new marine product releases over that weekend.
Madfinns Boat Wraps will take this exciting marine art form to a new level when it demonstrates how wraps are applied to a 4.5 metre.
The company’s owners, Mick and Laurie Madsen are highly experienced in this marine art form having been applying the dramatic vinyl wraps to boats for the past six years.
Voyager Catamarans will be launching the Sportsfish version of the company’s V625 trailer cat at the Mackay Boat Show boosting the number of variations of this hull length to three and adding further prestige to the show’s growing reputation as a major showcase of innovative marine excellence.
The Sportsfish version is being built under contract by the Haines Signature factory at Wacol in Queensland.
If power catamarans are your choice but you don’t want to own one, you can check out the new Perry 445 which has been added to the impressive fleet managed by Cumberland Charter Yachts.
Cumberland is bringing the new Perry from its base at the Abel Point Marina, Airlie Beach to the Mackay Boat Show where it will be on the water, open for inspection.
For those with a focus on tinnies, Mackay-based dealership, Ocean Marine will be assembling an impressive display from its ranges of Stessco, Aluvan, Savage and Formosa aluminium boats.
And in doing so, the company will be offering the option of matching them with the new 40 and 50hp Tohatsu four stroke engines which have just been released and will be making their public debut at the Mackay Boat Show
Adding even further diversity, Ocean Marine will have the Smart Wave range of poly boats on display, Evinrude E-Tec engines and the Sea-Doo range of personal water craft.
As well as that, the Mackay Boat Show this year will also feature 2 Bent Rods which is an educational program to help kids with their fishing as well as fun and entertainment for all the family.
