Fifteen Years and Counting
Nick and Harty from the Australian fishing TV show Hook, Line and Sinker have spent more time in Bar Crusher boats than almost anyone else over 15 years of ownership across a run of different models, and some genuinely serious adventures along the way. That's not a one-off review; 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 markets its boats as "Fishing Weapons," and it's a description Nick and Harty's history backs up. A TV fishing crew putting a boat through years of real-world offshore and inshore use, trip after trip, is a different kind of endorsement than a single test drive — it's a track record.
The Technology Behind the Trust
What sits behind that long-term loyalty is the same core engineering found across every Bar Crusher model: the Waveslicer® deep-V hull for a smooth, controlled ride, Rigideck® engineered sub-floor construction for durability, Quickflow® water ballast for stability at rest, and Gen2® plate aluminium hull design tying it all together. It's this consistency — the same proven platform underneath every model — that's let a crew like Hook, Line and Sinker keep coming back rather than switching brands as their needs changed.
