Overview

Description

The 801 Gen2 Hardtop is positioned as the ultimate offshore trailer boat in the McLay line-up. Built on a variable 18° deadrise hull with a 6 mm plate bottom and substantial beam, it is designed to handle long offshore passages, rough water and large swells while remaining trailerable.

The Gen2 801 features a very spacious wheelhouse and generous forward cabin, making it suitable for extended trips and overnighting on both sea and lake. Extensive storage, large fuel capacity and robust construction support serious blue-water fishing and cruising.
