Basar Boats Crusader 800 SR
Overview
About this vessel
Basar Boats is the Australian importer of the iconic Crusader rigid inflatable boats from South Africa. I've been out on these boats and the ride is far superior to anything else in this size. This can be attributed to the heavily laid fibreglass and deep-V hull design. Initially I was concerned with the forward helm being so far forward, but these boats cut through the chop and they land soft and the benefit you get is a vastly bigger back deck than your standard rib. Designed for getting through the waves in South Africa after being beach launched, the Crusader Ribs handle the West Aussie conditions with ease. Sea trials can be arranged and we'll wait for the sea breeze to give you a chance to experience it. You will be impressed! If you're considering a Falcon Rib, speak to the South Africans in Durban how they compare the two, there's a reason Falcon Ribs sell more prominently in Australia than South Africa where they are built.
Crusader RIB's are the toughest on the market, designed to handle all seas, high swells and strong winds, they are loved by both leisure boaters and commercial operators alike due to their unsurpassed strength of build and outstanding sea keeping performance. Basar Boats have taken this rugged platform and designed a deck layout suitable for leisure boaters, fishermen and divers in Australia focusing on safety, stability and adaptability.
The hulls are imported from South Africa (2 year warranty) with the outboard motors and electronics fitted in Australia (local manufacturer warranty). Trailer frames manufactured in South Africa with undercarriage and towing gear fitted locally by John Papas Trailers and registered with the DOT.
