Bar Crusher boats deliver a super-smooth ride – a far cry from the uncomfortable, hard pounding ride of traditional aluminium boats. Here’s why… most people who have been for a ride in an aluminium boat on a choppy day have been disappointed with the hard ride. The reason for this is that many of the ‘pressed sheet tinnie’ style boats and many plate-based fishing boats have been traditionally built with a relatively shallow dead rise or V at the transom, (often as little as 10 degrees). In other words, viewed from the rear they appear to have a fairly flat bottom. Bar Crusher boats, in contrast, with their water ballast system, are built using between 18 and 20 degrees of V at the transom depending on the model.

Bar Crusher boats are real ‘plate’ boats that use cutting-edge technology in both design and construction. They’re not pressed and ‘tacked’ together like the cheaper mass produced aluminium boats. They’re hand built by highly-skilled tradespeople. Bar Crusher boats are built using heavy 3mm, 4mm and 5mm marine aluminium which is pre-stressed and then formed to provide strength. The sub-floor construction is triangulated and boxed similar to an aeroplane wing to provide rigidity and stiffness. The engineered Rigideck TM sub-floor system is designed to minimise ‘racking’ or twist, which is the number one cause of fatigue cracking in other aluminium boats.
