Worth knowing
Barkmet Boats; cover, cost and conditions
Barkmet Boats is a family-owned Czech yard in Lhotka nad Labem, close to the Elbe and the German border. Its trade is metal: mostly aluminium, with steel alongside, and the range goes well beyond leisure craft. Workboats, tugs, pushboats, tankers and barges leave the yard, as do the rescue, fire and patrol boats of the Defender line. For leisure use Barkmet builds houseboats, among them aluminium catamarans, the Grafit sloops, the Apex speedboats and cabin boats, and the Hammer line for families and anglers with the 590 C, 599 PRO and 599 SPORT. A Hammer is easy to recognise by its aluminium hull, the centre console and the outboard on the transom.
Our model records hold a single Barkmet design: the Hammer 590 C, a 5.9 metre motorboat listed from build year 2022 and still running into the most recent build years. She has a beam of 2.2 metres, is rated for four people and is driven by an outboard, with room to walk and fish all the way round the console. The sister models 599 PRO and 599 SPORT, the Apex boats and the houseboats do not appear in our records. That makes the brand a young one on our list: every boat recorded is only a few years old and comes from current production. A second-hand Hammer 590 C will therefore be one of the early series boats, and engine size and fit-out can differ from one first owner to the next.
Aluminium is forgiving on a rocky launch ramp, yet it has its own needs. Mixing metals is the classic trap: stainless fittings, a bronze propeller or a stray electrical fault can start galvanic corrosion, so the anodes on hull and outboard should be checked every season and replaced once they are half gone. Rinse the boat with fresh water after a day on salt water and keep the bilge dry. On a used Hammer, look closely at welds around the console and the transom, check for pitting near through-hull fittings and ask for the outboard service book. Boats of this length usually live on a trailer, so the trailer brakes, lights and rollers deserve the same attention as the hull.
