PRIMED FOR HARD YAKKA While the Polycraft 530 Warrior is a capable craft in it’s own right, probably the most significant thing about it is its stuctural material: roto-moulded slastic. Stated boldly, perhaps not too impressive, but this is a very special plastic with important engineering and other properties. UV-inhibited polyethylene is the stuff that …
STESSCO SHINES IN SMALL BOAT STAKES I sometimes wonder why small aluminium boats are not painted and large ones are. Actually, I know the reason – cost. Painting a dinghy adds too much to the price for it to be competitive. On the other hand, doesn’t paint detract from one of aluminium’s selling points – …
SMOOTH OPERATOR Coraline’s new 860 Outsider is built to withstand the toughest W.A. conditions and do it in style. Whether it be heading to Rottnest Island for a day, or an extended trip to the Monte Bellos, the 860 Outsider will get the job done. The 8.6m 860 Outsider is the newest addition to the …
EXPANSIVE CORALINE 800 The 800 is by far the biggest boat Coraline build – half a metre longer than its previous biggest and with a beam 35mm wider at 2.85m. Rather than hanging on to the trouble-free towing beam of 2.5m, the builder went for what worked best on the water. It certainly paid off …
ANGLERS’ DREAM Coraline’s 750 Outsider is accurately named. Its hull length is indeed 7.5m and its natural environment is offshore. This big plate vessel, with its first-class protection from the elements, would be many a serious angler’s dream boat. It could also be a less serious angler’s idea of a good all-rounder. There are permanant …
OUTSIDER’S INSIDE RUN Coraline boat builders has an established niche in the WA plate alloy boat market as an operation that caters for customers who want something a bit special. The people at the firm’s Bayswater factory constantly come up with practical and stylish designs that are within the financial reach of most new boat …
OCEANRUNNER A TOP CATCH The Oceanrunner series of plate aluminium boats is Coraline’s most popular model, well geared for fishing, with a cabin that can be set up for sleeping, and with plenty of protection from the elements. The review Coraline 700 Oceanrunner is a big trailer boat – 7.6m in overall length with a …
LONG AND LEAN 700 The “long” in the name of Coraline’s Long Runner 700 does not mean a stretched 7m vessel – a 7m hull length is what you get, but an unusually narrow beam gives it a long-boat’s proportions. It is reminiscent of the fibreglass UB boats, variously nicknamed banana boats or longboats that …
A SERIOUS FISHING LINE When it comes to serious fishing from a boat, the most desirable attribute is space and plenty of it. Which is where Coraline’s new 700 Long Runner Platinum vessel enters the equation. As indicated by it’s name, this boat’s hull is 7m long. It has a 2.2m beam, 5mm hull plates, …
DEADRISE MAKES A CHANGE Coraline’s 670 Ocean Runner and Walkaround’s aluminium hull features an item from the builder’s seemingly endless list of options and continual improvements: a deep knuckle. The presence of this has allowed the deadrise to be increased by two degrees to 20, with the same amount of stability. Plate aluminium boats have …
