Reflex Boats NZ Reflex Chianti 485

The Reflex Chianti 485 is a compact, family-friendly fibreglass runabout designed to deliver a soft, stable ride in a highly versatile package. With a walk-through windscreen, generous cockpit space and thoughtful storage solutions, it suits a wide range of activities from inshore fishing to cruising, towing water toys and general family boating.

This Chianti 485 package is configured as a turn-key solution, supplied on a deluxe multi-roller trailer and powered by a modern four-stroke outboard for quiet, efficient performance. Underfloor polyurethane foam provides extra buoyancy and peace of mind, while the strong, integrated fibreglass hull and deck construction is engineered for durability, ride quality and stability at rest. Comfort is enhanced by twin deluxe moulded bucket helm seats with storage, removable transom seats and vinyl-covered cabin squabs, creating relaxed seating for up to four people.

The cockpit is finished with easy-clean fibreglass liners and non-slip fibreglass flooring, complemented by vinyl-trimmed side panels that retain full access to side storage. Practical fishing and cruising features include stainless steel rod holders, grab rails and twin stainless steel cupholders, along with a large anchor compartment that is easily accessed via the perspex walkthrough screen and cabin hatch. Teak coaming panels add a quality touch, and the layout allows excellent movement around the cockpit for both anglers and families.

Standard equipment includes mechanical steering with wheel, an electric bilge pump, wiring loom for electronics and port and starboard navigation lights, making it straightforward to outfit the boat with further electronics and accessories. The underfloor structure utilises fibreglass stringers for strength, and a battery box with isolation switch is fitted for safe, tidy power management. Extra-large deck space allows four adults to move comfortably, and removable transom seats improve access to the stern when boarding, fishing or loading gear.

A comprehensive list of upgrade options allows owners to tailor the Chianti 485 to their style of boating. Available enhancements include a stainless steel free-standing tee-top canopy with rocket launcher, hydraulic steering, stainless steel boarding ladder and bow rails, bunk infill, additional stainless rod holders and a removable ski pole for tow sports. An optional 70-litre underfloor fuel tank with fuel filter extends range, while road cover, tee-top sock, UV deck flooring, vinyl wrap for the lower hull, anchor rope and chain, VHF with antenna and a Garmin 655V GPS/fishfinder can further refine the boat into a well-equipped fishing or family platform.
