Trailer boats are possibly the most popular style of boat as most models can double for activities such as fishing and diving as well as for general recreational and on-water fun with family and friends. This popularity means a lot of manufacturers in this space and buyers are presented with many great models to consider.
Several new trailer boats have recently hit the market and boaters keen to upgrade are urged to expedite the process. Firstly to ensure they secure the boat they want as supply in some areas is still tight. Second is the prospect of further interest rate rises on the horizon. The RBA moved on rates at its May meeting and additional rises are strongly expected this year. Securing finance before a rise can mean less in loan repayments and more for bait and that extra gear and accessories.
We cover some of the new trailer boat models to inspire buyers.
Anglapro
Anglapro builds pressed alloy boats to suit Aussie conditions. They design their hulls to achieve key results including plane easily, cornering comfortably, providing stability and being comfy in the chop. New models in the range that are attracting attention include the Trixsta 48 and Sniper 454 Pro.
The Trixsta is the brand’s most popular hull and is a great boat to suit many purposes. The Sniper 454 is built for offshore fishing with a side console and deep
Arvor
Arvor is a European boat manufacturer with Australian representation based in Sydney. The new models in the trailer boat range include the Arvor 625 Sportsfish and the 675 Weekender. The 625 maximises deck space and includes an enclosed cabin – ideal for overnighting or extra protection when the weather changes. A 5.9m with a capacity for 6 people, this stylish vessel will suit many keen fishers.
The 675 weekender is also a stylish trailer boat with plenty of cabin space and creature comforts to suit family and friends’ time on the water.
Axopar
The Axopar brand from Finland is represented in Australia and New Zealand by Eyachts. The 22 footer is a multi-award winner and worth checking out. The Spyder variant is an open boat with sleek looks and style and is trailerable.
It has space for 7 people, a walk-around design that adds to the comfort factor and a separate toilet – a must for many on a day boat. The console is centre and forward and the Spyder has a twin-stepped hull.
Blackdog Catamarans
This is a New Zealand manufacturer of powered catamarans which can export their range to buyers in Australia. For those considering a Blackdog purchase, Jade Boat Loans can arrange finance for boats purchased outside of Australia and can assist with many of the issues around the purchase.
The CAT 680 hardtop model is attracting attention after being showcased at Sanctuary Cove. Ideally designed for those who head to rough waters for sports fishing, this trailer boat includes bunks which can mean a double act when the family is aboard.
Rainieri
Another international brand attracting attention is Rainieri. Represented in Australia by the Australian Marine Centre, the brand is Italian and known for its impressive selection of both fibreglass and inflatable models.
New in the range and worth a few looks and deep consideration is the Rainieri Voyager 19S. A centre console fishing boat with signature Italian style and luxury. Plus plenty of standard features to add to the comfort and functionality of this model.
Trailer Boat Finance
With many new models on the market, buyers should be getting serious about making decisions on make and model and on finance. While the official start of the boating season may be a few months away, another rise in the cash rate by the RBA is far more imminent. When the RBA acts, the lenders follow.
Securing the boat and the boat loan ahead of a rate rise can mean significant savings. We provide our Secured Boat Loan for trailer boats. This loan is as versatile as a trailer boat, suited to many buyers and many new boats. With our expertise, we may also be able to include the cost of the trailer in the same loan as the boat.
To start planning your purchase, head to our boat loan calculator for repayment estimates on the different trailer boats you may be considering. This is a great buying tool to assist in setting a wish list based on affordability.
When estimates are within your ballpark, contact us for a firm quote and/or for a pre-approved boat loan. Securing finance before attending a dealership can save time and expedite delivery. With finance confirmed, buyers can place their order on the first inspection.
