BAR CRUSHER 530C

My first impression of the Bar Crusher was a solid built boat with a well thought out fishing platform which drew me in for a closer inspection. It was then that I discovered the practical, well engineered and easy folding hard cover and windscreen that meant I could store the 530C in my low clearance garage. The Bar Crusher was over my budget that I had allowed for, but after the test drive I had to have one.

I live in Adelaide and normally fish local waters but recently had the opportunity to follow a friend out to a ground off Pt Broughton on the
York Peninsula. We left the ramp at around 6:00 am and navigated the 7 km channel until we hit open water and 1.5 meter seas, not the best
conditions considering we had around 30 km ahead of us making it my furthest offshore trip to date. Not only did the 530C eat up the
conditions but it offered a soft stable safe ride, unlike various other boats I have been in which require you to see the local chiropractor after
each run due to the constant pounding.

When we arrived at the ground we had a number of boats around us and we were just as stable as anyone else at anchor thanks to the ballast system. The high sides make it easy to keep your balance in rough conditions and wide gunwales make a good seat during calmer weather. By the end of the day we managed to boat 6 Snapper over 60 cm which we were able to tuck out of the way in the under floor kill tank (only Just).

Overall the Bar Crusher is the complete package with the perfect blend of a smooth ride and stability at rest. The quick change from bait board to ski pole makes the Bar Crusher family friendly for those fun trips to the river.

 
AFTER SALES SERVICE

One thing you don't find too often these days is after sales service. Through my own fault I managed to break off one of the windscreen handles on the top of the roller door, due to not winding down the jockey wheel. I contacted the guys at Bar Crusher and they not only sent out a new handle within the week they also supplied a spare in case it happened again.

Very Happy J.
