Theodore 720 Offshore

This Theodore 720 is a one owner, very low hours example of these rare offshore fishing weapons, extremely popular and very capable, built to 2c survey. The Theodore 720 Offshore has an award-winning pedigree stretching from strength of construction, high level of finish to excellent sea-keeping qualities. The Theodore 720 Offshore is the latest craft in the ever growing range of vessels built by veteran South Australian shipwright Jim Theodore of Adelaide's Port River Marine Services.

Prospective buyers need have no doubts about any aspects of these fine craft, whether it's strength of construction, level of finish or most importantly, the vessel's sea-keeping qualities as Theodore craft have taken out a number of national awards.

Let's start with a look at the vessel's structure, which features a handlaid, moulded fibreglass hull with the hull and deck joint-bonded, through-bolted and internally fibre-glassed to provide excellent structural integrity. The grid stringer system provides significant built-in buoyancy with sealed and divided under-floor compartments. It should be noted that by using moulded fibreglass to create this system, timber bearers, so often subject to rot, are completely eliminated.

With a moulded hull length of 7.2m, a LOA of 8.04m and a beam of 2.5m this is a generously-sized trailerable craft with excellent sea-keeping qualities, thanks to its variable deadrise, deep forefoot, three well-spaced planing strakes, solid chines and a transom deadrise of 20 degrees.
