Overview
About this vessel
The SportsFisher GRIDcore series from Horizon Boats delivers a family of plate alloy walkaround centre cabin offshore boats engineered for both serious fishing and comfortable days on the water. Built on the in-house developed GRiDcore hull, these models combine fully welded structural strength with thoughtful deck layouts, generous cockpit space and a raised walkaround foredeck that enhances both fishability and safety at sea.
Available in 562, 592, 632, 662 and 732 sizes, the SportsFisher GRIDcore range features full-height transoms with twin boarding platforms, enclosed rear transoms with twin hatches, and folding hard tops with rocket launchers and storage. High bow rails, heavy-duty bow sprits with double rollers, and RAILBLAZA TracLoader coamings underline the fishing focus, while large centre cabins with long bunks and upholstered cushions provide protection and overnight capability. Long-range underfloor aluminium fuel tanks, underfloor foam flotation to Australian Standards and quality steering and hardware round out a robust offshore package aimed at anglers who demand strength, practicality and performance.
