Pinnacle Boats in Whitianga are building a Custom 830 model for a new fishing charter operation—Mr Fishing Adventures Ltd—that will operate all over the upper half of North Island. It is expected to be launched in summer this year.

The build

Featuring a Scott Robson design, the Custom 830 model will have an overall length of 8.38 metres, beam of 2.5 metres, and an estimated tow weight of 2600kg. It will also feature a 6mm thick alloy hull.

The Pinnacle 830 will be powered by a Honda 250hp four-stroke outboard fed via a 600-litre fuel tank, ensuring extended trips before refuelling.

The Scott Robson monohedron hull, chosen for its efficiency and excellent sea-keeping ability, will provide a comfortable ride and a stable fishing platform.

Other features to be included in the Pinnacle Custom 830 are an enclosed wheelhouse with plenty of passenger seating, an Eberspacher diesel Hydronic Water and air heater, and  a large 15-inch Furuno multi-function navigation display with dual keel-mounted transducers.

The cockpit will have a large underfloor kill tank, full-length cockpit side shelves, dual live bait tanks, four tuna tubes, a 600-litre fuel tank, a 200-litre water tank, large volume underfloor buoyancy, and also a second helm station.
