New Razar Cat
Stefan Ackerie's new concept catHaving announced his entry into leisure-boat retailing in Australia with the opening of Stefan Boating World on the Gold Coast last week, high-profile Queensland hairdresser and champion offshore powerboat racer, Stefan Ackerie, has gone one better by releasing a most remarkable new boat -- the Razar Cat.
The futuristically styled 4.1m long Razar Cat, which combines the best features of a jet-ski and an inflatable boat, is set to revolutionise fun on the water for thousands of people, claims Ackerie. It could also provide a highly functional alternative for maritime search-and-rescue organisations and be an efficient tender for superyachts and other large vessels.
Brisbane-based ckerie, who has been part of the Australian boating scene for more than four decades, has been overseeing the development of the Razar Cat during the past 18 months. He is so satisfied and excited by the end product and its potential that he brought forward the Razar Cat's world debut to last weekend's Gold Coast International Marine Expo.
The boat isnow on display at his new facility, Stefan Boating World, at 27 Waterway Drive, Coomera, in the Gold Coast City Marine Precinct.
"The Razar Cat has many, many advantages over a jet ski, providing a similar level of fun and excitement while costing about one-third less than the cheapest jet-ski," Ackeris says.
"Its performance and stability are quite remarkable and it can carry up to five people. It is also very economical to run as it is powered by an outboard motor," he adds.
Ackerie put the prototype Razar Cat through its final sea trials last week and gave it the thumbs up, saying it had exceeded all his expectations.
"While the Razar Cat will fill a void in the recreational boating market, I am sure that it will be something that the Water Police, search and rescue
authorities and surf clubs will be looking at with a view to making their services more effective and efficient," hopes Ackerie.
The Razar Cat is currently being put into production and the first deliveries are scheduled for pre-Christmas.
Along with the Razar Cat, Ackerie's new range of Smartliner fibreglass runabouts and aluminium dinghies, the Stefan RIB inflatable series and PowerTec outboard motors are on display at Stefan Boating World, 27 Waterway Drive, Coomera, Gold Coast. See www.stefanboatingworld.com.au.
