Fifteen Years and Counting
Nick Duigan and Andrew “Harty” Hart from Australian fishing TV show Hook, Line and Sinker have clocked up 15 years in Bar Crusher boats. That’s a run of different models and some serious adventures along the way. This isn’t a one-off test drive. It’s a long-term relationship between a working fishing crew and a boat brand they’ve stuck with through model after model.
Fishing Weapons, Not Just Boats
Bar Crusher calls its boats “Fishing Weapons”, and Nick and Harty’s history backs that up. A TV fishing crew putting boats through years of real-world offshore and inshore use, trip after trip, says more than a single sea trial. It’s a track record. You can see it in action in their flathead session aboard the 535XS.
The Technology Behind the Trust
Behind that long-term loyalty is the same core engineering found across the Bar Crusher range: the Waveslicer® deep-V hull for a smooth, controlled ride, the Rigideck® sealed sub-floor for durability, Quickflow® water ballast for stability at rest, and Gen2® plate aluminium hull design tying it all together. That consistency, the same proven platform under every model, is why a crew like Hook, Line and Sinker keeps coming back instead of switching brands as their needs change.
