SYDNEY BOAT SHOW: Lifestyle Marine's biggest display ever

Lifestyle Marine is one of Australia’s leading marine retailers owned and operated by the Hurt Family for 67 years. This multi-award-winning dealership has won State, National and International awards for sales and customer service. 2012 saw the company crowned Sea Ray International Dealer of the year and the largest volume International Sea Ray Dealer.

Lifestyle Marine will have 18 models never seen before at Sydney International Boat Show with most never seen at any Australian boat show. There will have over 30 boats on display from leading brands including Sea Ray, Rinker, Hurricane, Pursuit, Polar Kraft, Zodiac and Smart Wave.

Sea Ray   
Lifestyle will have a range of boats from Sea Ray, including the recently released 240 Sundeck with its all-new manual fold down swim platform. This new-release platform has never been displayed at any boat show anywhere in the world. The platform looks great, we're told, and will make a great place to swim and dive from or for putting on your water skis or wakeboard. The exciting thing about this manual platform is it is about one fifth of the price of the hydraulic equivalent.      

Hurricane
A huge range of Hurricanes, the world’s number-one selling deck boat, will be on display. There will be three Fundeck models on hand, the 196, 226 and 236. The Fundeck is a pontoon style boat with masses of space and storage as well as a huge passenger carrying capacity. Its semi deep V fibreglass mono hull allows it to perform much better than traditional pontoons.

The 236 Fundeck is fitted with a wine bar that includes 12-volt refrigerator and sink for that lazy afternoon on the water sharing a wine or two. It can be fitted with a Mercury Verado 250hp for those who want the ultimate in performance as well as comfort and space.  

Next is the Sundeck Sports. These must be the most versatile boats on the water with loads of space and comfort with lots of perimeter seating that creates great open space in the middle of the boat. Fishing, water sports or just cruising they will do it all. The 188 outboard and 201 sterndrive will be on display. The Sundeck range will be represented by the 2200 and big 2600 Sundeck. 

Rinker  
Rinker has been building boats for nearly 85 years and is one of America’s best known sports boat and sportscruiser manufacturers. Rinker’s philosophy to building boats is simple, build exceptional quality boats for a great price.

On display will be the 186 and 196 Captiva bowriders and the MTX range. These pickle-fork bowriders have the biggest bows in their class, killer good looks and are very well priced. The Extreme series is fitted with just about every option you could want including wakeboard tower, tower speakers, Polk Momo stereo upgrade, unde water lights, and more. Three models will be on hand in Sydney, the 200MTX, 220MTX Extreme and the all-new 220MTX Cuddy Cabin. Last but not least will be the 246 Cuddy Cabin and the Rinker 260 Sports Cruiser. Lifestyle says that people constantly ask how Rinker can fit so much luxury and space into a 26-foot boat at such a competitive price.

Pursuit
Pursuit is one of the biggest players in the ultra competitive American fishing boat market. They have been the number one selling outboard powered cabin boats 25 to 40 feet for the last three years. The complete range combines centre consoles, dual consoles and cabin boats as well as a unique range of sport centre consoles that are a combination of a bowrider and a centre console in one.

There will be four Pursuits on display: the C230 and C260 centre consoles as well as the 255 Offshore walk-around. Next is the Power Boat Magazine Boat of the Year, the Pursuit 265 Dual Console. Fish on the continental shelf on Saturday and take the kids skiing on Sunday. Fitted with hardtop, anchor winch, electric flush toilet, outriggers and Mercury 350hp Verado you have everything you need.
