Spotted at the recent Hutchwilco NZ Boat Show was The Dash, a new model from White Pointer Boats
The new White Pointer 870 Walk-Around is based on a well-proven 8.70m alloy hull with a wide 2.75m beam and a 6mm hull-plate construction. The deep bulwarks allow safe passage around the wheelhouse to the open bow area. Popular options include a MinnKota 87 Riptide Terrova trolling motor and a Stressfree NG Maxi drum winch.
The lockable cuddy cabin comes with a v-berth and infill to make one large berth, storage under the squabs and a head under the side bunk. You can have the entire cabin fully upholstered, so no alloy is shown anywhere.
The wheelhouse features ample seating for the skipper and passengers, a fridge/freezer under the day lounge, sliding side windows, a large custom dash and LED lighting.
The self-draining cockpit is all about fishing, and the White Pointer 870 WA does it well. Rod holders are everywhere. There is a large kill tank, live bait tank and generous bait station. There is a whole width boarding platform which can be caged with twin boarding ladders.
Power is a Volvo Penta D4/ 320hp with a DPI leg.
Like all White Pointers, you have the option of a painted or unpainted hull and wheelhouse and the boat, some degree of customisation, such as with twin outboards, and White Pointers legendary Pro-Sportsman seamless game fishing stern. Your choice of electronics, Paint and Upholstery are all part of engaging the customers personal touches. All White Pointers, come with a ten-year recreational hull warranty.
