Mclay Boats Sportsman 571 HT

The Sportsman 571 HT is a hardtop evolution of the popular 571 Sportsman cuddy. Developed in response to demand for smaller hardtops, it shares many features with McLay’s top-selling 591 Sportsman Hardtop while using a modified hull to compensate for the hardtop weight. Extensive testing has shown that stability at rest with three adults matches the cuddy version, and ride and handling remain excellent.

The model targets fishers and general boaters seeking a compact, offshore-capable hardtop at a reasonable price. The standard package includes a 90 HP Mercury four-stroke outboard and trailer, with approximate hull weight including motor and trailer.
