Mclay Boats Sportsman 651 Hardtop

The Sportsman 651 Hardtop is based on a proven hull previously used for the 651 CrossXover, refined into a dedicated fishing-focused hardtop. It offers more deck area for fishing than any other McLay model of similar length, while providing a very competitive package price. It targets serious anglers and family boaters requiring a spacious, offshore-capable 6.5 m hardtop.

The design emphasises interior volume, cockpit space and standard equipment, with substantial plate construction, generous underfloor fuel and a comprehensive electrical fit-out. The approximate hull weight includes motor and tandem trailer.
