Please note the retractable sun awning has a fault and is sold AS IS.

Storage abounds throughout the boat with a huge under cockpit floor hold as pictured and numerous under bunk/seat storage nooks through the wheelhouse. Ventilation is important in Qld summers, and this A555 has sliding side windows and over head a large hatch in the roof that also comes with a material cover for more shade.  

Seating abounds through out the boat from up on the bow, where a padded seat makes for a great place to watch the water with the kids when at rest, and the huge side access along makes for a safe walkway. The cockpit has the rear quarter seating and set up the table and enjoy lunch at anchor.

The Sportsfish is all about fishing in the cockpit, salt water deck wash, plumbed live bait tank, “Baitmate” filleting table, removable stern quester cushions, huge underfloor kill tank with drain directly out through hulls bottom and ample rod holders.
