Overview
About this vessel
The 445 Gulf from Horizon Boats is a vee bow punt designed for anglers who spend their time on lakes and estuaries, combining the inherent stability of a punt with the softer ride of a sharper entry. Built from top-grade marine aluminium with full internal framing and underfloor flotation, it is configured to deliver years of dependable, low-maintenance boating in a wide range of inshore conditions.
This model features 3mm 5083 pressed bottom sheets and smooth side sheets, a fully welded checkerplate foredeck and rolled side decks for durability and strength. Practical fishing and boating appointments include a carpeted full floor, multiple plug-in seat positions with pedestal-mounted folding seats, anchor shelf with tie-off point and cross bollard on the foredeck, plus external keel, solid transom corners and transom strut for structural integrity. With Australian Builders Plate certification and a layout optimised for stability, comfort and safety, the 445 Gulf is a capable companion for relaxed days afloat or serious estuary fishing missions.
