New Arvor Weekender

More than a decade has passed since the launch of the popular Arvor range. After adding hundreds of vessels to Australian waters, there has always been one side of boating missing. Until now...

The launch of the new Arvor Weekender completes the range with a family/fishing cruiser.

"This is a boat that customers have been calling for, particularly wives," said  Arvor Australia's general manager Peter Collins.

The Arvor Weekender's semi-planing hull is a derivative of the existing Arvor range, maintaining the same sea-keeping qualities, combining stability and performance. The high topside equates to an exceptionally dry ride.

According to Peter Collins, it couldn’t be a Weekender without the benefit of a larger, more luxurious cabin. Its neat arrangement provides a large vee berth, convertible dinette, workable galley with a 12-volt fridge, gas stove, twin sinks with pressurised water and a private head compartment.

The large windows allow plenty of light into the cabin, but keep out the rain and wind. Occupants can enjoy boating 12 months of the year on any waterway.

Walking outside the cabin's sliding doors, you will be able to relax in style. Whether you choose to drop a line, entertain friends, or enjoy an afternoon siesta on the folding sun bed, the large cockpit is synonymous with Arvor, giving you the luxury of fulfilling your boating needs.

Where its stable mates are known primarily as day fishing boats, this model has a softer side to appeal to all the family.

Remaining true to the Arvor brand, the Weekender keeps its most important aspects, said Collins: "It ticks all the critical Arvor boxes -- diesel, shaft drive, lockable cabin, self-draining cockpit, walk-around decks -- while also allowing owners to sleep aboard with their family and friends".

The Weekender is powered by a single Cummins CMD 150hp diesel, mid-mounted for balance and driving a shaft for reliability. Top speed is 22 knots and fuel economy is something petrol outboards and stern drives can only dream about.

While being made to live in the water, the Weekender has the benefit of being trailerable, giving you the luxury of being able to explore every part of Australia’s coastline.

Among the standard features on this European-built vessel are a bowthruster and trim tabs to give the driver complete control, plus an electric windlass operated from the helm.

The first Arvor Weekender is due to arrive in Australian waters in October 2011. The standard price is expected to be very competitively priced below $115,000.
