The latest news out of The Hutchwilco New Zealand Boat Show includes the launch of two new powerboats including the new Strata 750 RIB Model brought to you by Smuggler Marine and a new release from White Pointer based on the 730 Sports Cruiser.

The new Strata 750 RIB is an all-new Gen 2 console designed to perform. While retaining the Smuggler’s proven 27-degree deep vee hull delivering incredible rough water performance it also boasts a Yamaha F250hp four stroke outboard and is easily capableof 50 knots.

With upgraded seating and a re-designed Targa top and stainless structure, it also has the addition of new removable side clears to provide extra protection from the elements as well as seating at the helm with two Captain style seats, lift up seat bolsters and foldable armrests. In addition, you will find a toilet located under the helm console and an onboard refrigerator under the helm seat.

Also to be released in time for the Hutchwilco Boat Show is the new 745 Sport Cruiser from White Pointer Boats.

To celebrate three decades of custom alloy boat building and craftsmanship, White Pointer Boats is releasing this new 30-year anniversary model. More than 600 boats have left their Gisborne factory over the last three decades, so White Pointer Boats is excited to bring one of their most popular models, with a “significant upgrade” to the show.

Based on the company’s popular 730 Sports Cruiser model and with input from customers and the team of boat builders at White Pointer, the new model is a culmination of 30 years of expertise from Briant and his team of alloy craftsmen. “Our 730 model has been one of our most popular boats in the range, and over the years has seen every conceivable option fitted, we wanted to showcase its versatility and take it to the next level with this new model,” says Pointer Managing Director, Max Briant.

The new 745 Sport Cruiser has been designed and built to be the perfect size for offshore game fishing expeditions as well as family water sports and just cruising and exploring in the lakes and coastlines in both New Zealand and Australia.

White Pointer has also continued its traditional method of shaping the hull skin over a predetermined interlocking frame and girder type structure. Combined with a welding sequence that can produce a rounded compound curve hull shape that squeezes the water out rather than slapping over the top. Add to that, the new 745SC has White Pointer’s standard 10-year hull warranty.

Come and check out the new Strata 750 RIB and 745 Sport Cruiser at The Hutchwilco New Zealand Boat Show next month from Thursday May 16 to Sunday May 19 at the Auckland Showgrounds. Smuggler Marine will be located at stand #570 and you can find White Pointer Boats at stand #315.
