Kiwi Kraft 535 KIWI KRAFT HARDTOP (535 HT)

535 Kiwi Kraft Hardtop (535 HT) is a compact hardtop pontoon boat designed for serious inshore and coastal fishing with the protection of a rigid hardtop and the security of multiple sealed pontoons. Built in aluminium with heavy‑duty plating throughout, it combines a relatively fine 18° deadrise for a softer ride with the inherent stability of a pontoon hull.

The 535 HT is configured for practical day boating and fishing, featuring a rear boarding platform and walk‑through transom for easy water access, a large fillet board and multiple alloy rod holders for efficient fishing, and generous under‑floor storage that can be used as a kill tank. High topsides (floor to gunnel approximately 800 mm) provide added security for all on board.

The hardtop structure with fixed side windows and integrated LED lighting to the cabin, hardtop and deck gives all‑weather protection and good visibility. A radar arch with additional rod holders, ski‑pole fittings and optional live‑bait and deck‑wash systems allow the boat to be tailored for a mix of fishing and family water sports. Electrical systems are supported by a 6‑way switch panel, bilge pump and battery isolator for safe, straightforward operation.

With a maximum recommended power of 115 hp and capacity for up to seven people, the 535 Kiwi Kraft Hardtop is aimed at owners wanting a tough, trailerable fishing platform that still fits easily on a driveway and offers a balance of performance, safety and ease of handling.
