Plug and play for Stabicraft

With an emphasis on meeting the needs of its diverse market, the Invercargill boat manufacturer said it has developed three transom boxes for customers to choose from on its latest models - the 759 GIII Super Cab Sport and the 829 GIII Super Cab Weekender.

"You could say it's plug and play for boaties," said managing director, Paul Adams.

Stabicraft said the Super Fish transom features a large killtank and baitboard with additional rodholders; the Super Game has a livebait tank, bait table and tuna tubes for the serious fisher; and the low-profile transom creates a non-obstructive platform.

The developments were in keeping with the vast range of options synonymous with Stabicraft boats, said the NZ boatbuilder.

"These 'bolt-on' options allow our customers to tailor a vessel to truly meet or exceed their requirements. While every Stabi' vessel has a set of uncompromised basic values, like safety and reliability, it's exciting to allow our customers to adapt each boat to meet their on-water needs," said Adams.

"People's needs on the water are so diverse, and we not only recognise that, we welcome it - it's great being able to help someone effectively design the features of their own boat," he said.

Since being launched onto the marine scene, the transom boxes have been well-received by boaties and industry experts alike, said Stabicraft Marine.

The 829 GIII SC Weekender was launched at the Melbourne Boat Show and, together with its little brother, the 759 GIII SC Sport, features the latest in pontoon technology, said Stabicraft.
