Elite Hard Top

The Elite Hard Top from Image Boats is a versatile aluminium trailer boat designed for serious Southern Ocean conditions and comfortable family days on the water. Offered in a range of hull lengths from 5.6 to 6.6 metres, it combines a fully enclosed hardtop shelter with a practical, open cockpit suited to both fishing and cruising. Wide side decks, deep internal freeboard and robust construction provide reassuring offshore capability, while the hardtop and enclosed helm offer excellent protection from wind, spray and cooler climates.

Inside, the Elite Hard Top features a well-laid-out helm station with clear sightlines and intuitive controls, alongside sheltered seating and a forward cuddy area that can be customised for storage or overnighting. The cockpit is arranged to maximise usable deck space, giving ample room for fishing, diving gear or relaxed seating. Thoughtful detailing throughout, including quality fittings and the option to integrate marine electronics and auxiliary equipment from leading brands, makes this model a strong choice for owners wanting a capable all-rounder built for New Zealand conditions.
