Bar Crusher – raising the bar again

Bar Crusher now offers an exclusive range of very special paint colours, further separating these boats from the pack.

Utilising the same paint system as that used by BMW, Mercedes Benz and Porsche, the metal flake and pearlised finish creates a special, rich and deep look that's seen only on the best European prestige cars.

The classy, new colour schemes are offered as a factory option on every model in Bar Crusher's impressive range. Colours include Reef Blue (Light Blue / Silver), Ocean Blue (Mid Smoky Blue), Gun Metal (Charcoal / Silver), Titanium (Silver), and Liquid Bronze ( Champagne ).

Bar Crusher's Peter Cleland said today's consumers had very high expectations and thought it was time to offer people a special and exclusive look.

“Many clients still love our pristine white hull colours, as gaff strikes and scratches can be so easily repaired,” Peter said.

“However, there are always clients who want something special and it's our brief to ensure they have choice.

“Like all things at Bar Crusher, when we decide to offer something new we look at the best manufacturers in the world and use the same technology.

“If a paint system is good enough for BMW, Mercedes and Porsche, we'll use it too!”

Bar Crusher dealers around the country have sample colour plates on hand, and can offer advice as to the best colour for every boating and fishing application.

The ‘heads up' on Bar Crusher's new 640HT

Bar Crusher's 640HT (Hard Top) sets a new benchmark in trailerable offshore sportfishers.

Constructed from pre-stressed 5mm (bottom sides) and 4mm (top sides) marine grade plate aluminium, Bar Crusher's super-tough flagship model is a breeze to tow on the road, yet has a true big boat feel on the water.

Measuring 6.85m LOA, beam 2.47m, the 640HT's toughened safety glass windscreen and all-weather hard top allows full standing room and an unobstructed 360° view from the helm, while the spacious cockpit has plenty of fishing room for all onboard .

As with all Bar Crusher boats, the 640HT's on-water performance is second to none. The vessel's ultra-smooth ride is the result of its high-tech Waveslicer™ non-pounding, deep-V hull, while its expertly-engineered Rigideck™ sub-floor system ensures maximum hull strength.

Superior stability at rest is the upshot of Bar Crusher's exclusive Quickflow™ water ballast technology. A cavity that runs the full length of the keel quickly fills with water when stationary, which lowers the chines into the water for greater stability, and drains in seconds as the boat moves forward allowing it to leap effortlessly onto the plane.

Rated to carry a 150-200hp outboard, the 640HT's outstanding ocean-going capabilities, 300lt fuel capacity, comfortable driver and passenger seating, folding rear seat and spacious V-berth make it an ideal boat for anglers looking to venture further offshore in search of billfish, tuna and other pelagic species.

A very impressive list of standard features includes hydraulic steering, self-draining deck with scuppers, step-through transom, marlin board / swim platform, rod holders, livebait tank, in-floor fish storage tank, large-volume storage pockets, dual battery system and much more.
