The 741 Raptor is McLay’s amphibious hardtop model, representing a new chapter in amphibious boat design. It combines a McLay 7.4 m hardtop hull with the Tectrax electric amphibious all-wheel-drive system, enabling quiet, simple operation on land and water.

The wheel deployment and retraction system is configured to preserve the appearance and functionality of a conventional McLay hardtop at sea. The bow arrangement allows standard drum anchoring without risk of the rope fouling the front wheel, and the rear wheels retract into a custom transom to minimise the chance of fishing lines tangling. The boat is targeted at users who require beach launching, shallow-water access or land drive capability without sacrificing offshore performance.
