Bar Crusher’s 535C is a quality plate aluminium boat that offers hard-to-beat value for money.

Designed as an all-round fishing and family boat – and constructed from heavy duty, high-tensile 4mm (bottom sides) and 3mm (top sides) marine grade plate aluminium – the 535C is a superbly-engineered boat that’s ideal for estuary, bay and inshore coastal boating.

Measuring 5.35m LOA with a 2.15m beam, the 535C incorporates all of Bar Crusher’s exclusive features – high-tech Waveslicer® non-pounding, deep-V hull; super-strong Rigideck® sub-floor system with fully-welded checkerplate floor; and Quickflow® water ballast technology for superior stability at rest.

Built on Bar Crusher’s evolutionary Gen2™ hull design, the 535C combines key features including a wider negative chine running forward, optimised wider chine aft and the distinctive Delta Flare™ – delivering greater hydrodynamic lift for efficient planing and excellent fuel economy, a higher bow attitude and better spray deflection for a drier ride, as well as increased stability at rest.

Note the shape of the Delta Flare at the transom and the distinctive shape of the Quickflow® water ballast outlet. This innovation incorporates a cavity running the full length of the keel that quickly fills with water when the boat is stationary, which lowers the chines into the water for greater stability, and drains in seconds as the boat moves forward to allow it to leap effortlessly onto the plane.

Easily managed by people starting out in boating, the 535C has wide side decks and a functional internal depth to ensure everyone feels secure when out on the water, while the cuddy cabin offers the kids some protection from the elements.

The 535C has plenty of rod storage in the side decks and baitboard, storage under the bunks and a comfortable helm position with good all-round vision, while the optional clip-on rear seating provides flexible seating configurations that can be removed altogether, as required.

Strong aluminium rod holders, livebait tank, swim ladder and berley bucket and muncher are among a long list of fishing-related features. If everyone’s had enough of fishing, the innovative removable baitboard allows a sturdy ski pole to be substituted, to which ropes can be attached for alternative on-water fun.

Rated to carry a 60-100hp outboard, combined with a 100L fuel capacity, the 535C is a fantastic entry-level boat for people new to boating or those seeking to step-up to a larger boat in a compact, easy-to-tow and easy-to-store package.

Every Bar Crusher boat is factory-packaged on a custom-designed trailer, which ensures towing, launching and retrieving is a breeze. Self-centering and aligning perfectly every time, Bar Crusher’s innovative Bar Catch™ system also allows for single-handed launch and retrieve.
