 Bonito Boats have a cult like following and for good reason, they are built like a brick sh.thouse, they ride like no other boat in their size and leave alloy hulls in their wake on those windswept afternoon runs home, they are quiet hulls to fish from at rest and hence Bonito are so often seen as the boat of choice for fishing the shallow flats of the Broadwater/Great Sandy Straights all the way around to Weipa.

This rig has been freshly serviced - boat, motor and the trailer plus professionally detailed prior to listing, and she looks great!

The rig is superbly optioned with an armoury of fishing friendly features we all desire from the bow mount 24v 80lbs Motorguide electric, Simrad 12” touch screen combo GPS/Sounder, plumbed live bait tank, huge bow casting platform and even a stereo to enjoy the tunes whilst fishing.

Powered by max HP, the Honda 150Hp four stroke has recorded a low 117 hours use and delivers exceptional performance and Honda’s known reliability.

Steering is made light via the hydraulic Hydrive system fitted and an assortment of genuine Honda engine gauges are fitted to the dash.

Range is assured with a 150L underfloor fuel tank installed and the Honda is also further backed with a BIA 3 month warranty for purchasers further confidence.

For stealth fishing, a Motorguide Xi5 Pinpoint GPS 80lbs, 24v electric bow mount is fitted.

Gamechanger when it comes to fishing by spot locking, holding steady without having to deploy the ground tackle and flick lures….. a hand held remote is included and the 24v battery system along with a CTEC 24v battery charger.

The console is well designed with a spray screen deflecting wind and spray, atop of the dash a huge SimradNSS12 colour, touch screen, Sounder/GPS is fitted and as a bonus this includes a mapping card.

The big screen Simrad is also linked to a Simrad Active Imaging 3:1 transducer as pictured.

A Fusion stereo system provides some quality tunes whilst afloat and a GME VHF radio is installed for on water communications and safety.

Clever storage options are incorporated, and we like the “mother-in-law” seat forward of the console, neat touch. Storage is offered throughout the boats from under the bow, under the console, broadside and under the helm chair as pictured.

Moving around these 360 hulls is quite simple as stability is offered with the generous beam and solidness of the Bonito hull. Fighting fish and running the decks is simple and fundamentally what the Bonito hull was always intended to offer the sports angler.

The transom is uncluttered, fitted with a quality bait board and a saltwater deck wash will help keep the boat clean.
