Built on Evolution's signature deep-V and wide reverse chine handlaid fibreglass hull, each model measures 5.0m (excluding pod and bowsprit) and have a beam of 2.25m, which creates a roomy cockpit that boasts an internal measurement of 1.83m at the transom, said the boatbuilder.
Designed with first-time boating in mind, the 500 Sportsfisher is the perfect vessel in which to start fishing adventures, said Evolution Boats, featuring an easy-access anchor, walkthrough windscreen, full-length sidepockets and extra storage compartments make for a clean deck.
Like all Evolution boats, the boatbuilder said the 500 Sportsfisher is designed and manufactured by serious anglers with a commitment to quality, safety and rock-solid stability at rest.
Evolution Boats said the new 500 Santa Fe has been designed as a family all-rounder, and includes a rear lounge with lift-up seats providing ample storage for skis, vests, ropes and toys, while a 40lt icebox under the deck will keep food and drink cold for a full day on the water.
The Santa Fe also incorporates a stainless steel skipole, 100lt fuel tank and is rated up to a 115hp Evinrude E-TEC outboard.
Evolution Boats said that both the 500 Sportsfisher and 500 Santa Fe are easily towed behind an average family car and are equally easy to launch and retrieve on the custom-built drive-on/drive-off trailer.
