Your boat. Your layout.
You don’t pick an R55 off a dealer’s yard. You build it. Every R55 is built to order from our workshop in Port Kennedy, configured the way you’ll actually use it.
Four console configurations
Every one includes the suspension cockpit pod as standard.
Twin centre console
Driver and passenger both suspended. Full protection, full visibility. Dash built for wide-format displays.
Twin side console
Driver and passenger both suspended. More open deck space.
Single side console
One suspended helm. Maximum deck space.
Big tiller
Full open deck. Single, twin or no console.
Three roof options
Electric retractable — push-button height adjustable. Raise for headroom, lower for rough conditions, towing, and garage clearance. Four rod holders up top, integrated white and red LED deck lighting.
Fixed — simple and solid, no moving parts.
None — open boat, clean lines.
Two forward deck options
Large casting deck — with fridge and esky space underneath.
Forward seating — with wet locker underneath and a smaller casting deck.
Built around your kit
Electric bow motor ready. Integrated mounts for fridge and esky. Dash fits wide-format sounders and chart plotters.
Plus motor choice from 90 to 175hp, colour, electronics, and trailer options
Commercial, charter, or custom build?
We build to spec.
Suspended cockpit. Not just a suspended seat.
A suspension seat isolates you from the hull. A suspended cockpit pod isolates you, the console, the dash, and the controls. The whole cockpit moves as one unit on marinised long-travel shocks.
When the hull hits chop, the pod absorbs it before any of it reaches you. Less shock loading. Less fatigue. Longer days on the water. You can drive standing, but you won’t need to as often.
The suspension is tuneable for different conditions and driving styles.
Built to go out wide
Around 300km+ range at economical cruise on the standard 160 litre tank, depending on motor and conditions.
The stepped hydroplane hull is adapted from offshore racing powercat designs. The steps in the hull increase lifting efficiency and reduce drag. The boat gets on the plane at lower speeds, holds stability at wide-open throttle with less trimming, and delivers the fuel economy that makes long-range trips practical. Gills on the side of the hull draw air into the steps, preventing stalling in choppy conditions.
Stays floating, stays safe
Being a cat, the buoyancy comes from the pontoons and the floor sits above the waterline. If a wave breaks over, the water runs straight out the back — it doesn’t pool, and it doesn’t weigh the boat down.
Four foam-filled flotation chambers, two in each pontoon. If the cockpit floods or the hull is punctured, the pontoons still float.
Flotation foam is injected with the hull vertical, with the exact quantity metered by our CNC build system. No voids, no guesswork.
Rear deck
Clean, open, purpose-built for fishing. Recessed toe space at the gunwale for solid footing. Plenty of rod holders, room to move. Dedicated bait station with integrated live bait tank, split bait board, and knife storage — standard, or configured to suit.
When the rods go down, the rear deck transforms. The seats spin around to face the back and a large fold-out table locks into the centre. With the side seating around it, the back of the boat becomes the spot to build rigs, feed the crew, crack a beer.
Rear water access
Dual side step areas with drop-down submerged platforms. Step up from the water naturally instead of climbing a ladder — much easier with spearguns, fins, and dive tanks. Full unimpeded walkthrough at the transom, side to side.
Storage
Side gear storage for full-length rods, spearguns, and dive tanks. Dry front locker. Rear mackerel boxes. Esky space. Everything has a place.
Trailer options
Standard aluminium trailer. Walk-around top for safe access on the trailer. Integrated rear pivot for easier float-on in shallow water. Automatic boat catch system that locks the boat as it loads. Optional wash-down system and storage boxes.
Off-road trailer option. Extended drawbar, raised ground clearance, and sand-capable wheels for beach launches and unformed tracks. Available to order.
Interstate delivery
We deliver interstate. Typical delivery time to the east coast is around 13 days. Delivery quoted with your configuration.
