We take a look at them.
Image Boats have a reputation for building customised aluminium boats, ranging from 5.8m to 12m. They combine safety, strength, durability, quality and performance to produce the perfect all-rounder. They have recently added three new models to their fleet – we take a look at them.
The first is an Image 7.75m Fishmaster with a toilet/shower cubicle included. Custom designed and built for a family in Queenstown, this build has a 2.7m beam and is powered by a TX 250 Suzuki outboard. The Image 7.75m Fishmaster was created from the demand for smaller boats that can comfortably sleep 4 people and, most importantly, have a separate toilet/shower cubicle.
Other special features include:-
- GME FX700 VHF Marine Radio
- 350 L Fuel Tank
- 150L Water Tank
- Sleeps 4
- Diesel Heater/Water Heater
- Image designed and built 3.5T Trailer with Credo Braking System
- NSS12 Evo 35 Halo 20+ Bundle
