Bar Crusher’s Peter Cleland said taking a minute to fold down the roof before towing also created a much lower profile rig, which in turn provided greater fuel economy on the road.
“Everyone’s conscious of fuel prices and consumption these days and for us it extends far beyond which engines are bolted to the transom,” he said. “Towing a large boat long distances can significantly increase a vehicle’s fuel consumption which really eats into the holiday budget.”
More durable than the old-style vinyl or canvas tops, which can perish in the sun and blow away on the freeway, Bar Crusher’s gas-strut aluminium roof features a sturdy rocket launcher as well a functional grabrail for crew to hold on to while charging out to the fishing grounds. There’s also ample fitting room for other accessories, such as a fluoro light.
