McLay's smallest HT

McLay Boats will be releasing their 571 Sportsman Hardtop, the smallest production hardtop in their range at the Hutchwilco Boatshow, stand 333.

McLay Boats Managing Director Steve McLay says the timing is ideal for such an option as he has seen a massive swing into hardtops in the last 12 months.

“The model is based on our 571 Sportsman cuddy but with hull modifications to balance the extra weight of the hardtop and to ensure it rides great, yet remains a stable platform,” Steve says.

It comes as a turn-key package complete with a Mercury 90hp fourstroke outboard, trailer and electronics. Priced from only $55,474, Steve believes this new model will become popular for both fishing and family boating and be a big seller very quickly.
