Built for the Fight
Every angler dreams of hooking a big fish and staying in a long, hard fight, and that’s the scenario Bar Crusher designs its side decks and coamings around. High sides and wide coamings aren’t just about comfort. They let an angler brace properly and stay in the fight when a big fish is pulling hard.
The Game Lock® Coaming System
At the centre of this design is Bar Crusher’s Game Lock® coaming, a gunwale system built to give anglers a comfortable, secure fish-fighting position. It isn’t an afterthought. It’s engineered as the bracing point for the moment a big fish puts boat and angler to the test, which is why it’s a key feature on serious offshore models like the 670HT and the gamefishing-ready 670HT Shelf Raider.
Wide Coamings, Everyday Comfort
The wide coamings that make bracing against a big fish comfortable also make a comfortable place to sit, whether you’re anchored up, trolling or travelling between spots. The system works across every part of a day on the water, not just the big-fish moment.
Safety Through Freeboard
High sides and wide side decks feature across the Bar Crusher range, and they matter for safety as much as comfort. Generous internal freeboard, the height from the floor to the top of the gunwale, means everyone on board feels secure, whether you’re at anchor or running offshore. That’s 690mm on the compact 535XS, 780mm on the 615BR Bowrider and 800mm on the 670 models. The sealed Rigideck® floor underfoot keeps the deck solid and dry when the action heats up.
The Bottom Line
It’s a simple philosophy: build what works on the water, so you catch more fish. High sides, wide side decks and the Game Lock® coaming system are how Bar Crusher puts that into practice. Find the right setup for your fishing with the boat builder, or talk to your local Bar Crusher dealer.
