Worth knowing
Marcraft; cover, cost and conditions
Marcraft builds aluminium fishing and sports boats, compact craft for lakes, rivers and sheltered coastal water. A German predator angling site presents them as aluminium fishing boats that offer plenty of room from 4.10 metres. Two things identify a Marcraft. The number is the length in centimetres, so the 440 measures 4.4 metres and the 535 exactly 5.35. And the names say what the boat is for: Pike Master, Carp Exclusive, Catfish, Predator, Pro Bass, Lake Hunter and River Pro.
Our model records hold twelve Marcraft entries, all motorboats. The 465 Carp Exclusive appears twice, at 4.65 metres from 2012 and at 5 metres from 2018, which leaves eleven model names: 410 Challenger, 440 Pike Master, 465 Carp Exclusive, 465 Experience, 496 Lake Hunter, 520 Catfish, 520 Predator, 535 Commander, 565 Pro Bass, 565 River Pro and 585 Sport. The earliest build year is 2006 with the 440 Pike Master. Nine entries run into the latest build years, while the 565 Pro Bass, 565 River Pro and 585 Sport end in 2021. Lengths range from 4.1 metres (410 Challenger) to 5.85 metres (585 Sport).
Aluminium is light, tough and forgiving on stony shores and boat ramps, which is why these boats suit anglers who launch somewhere new every weekend. Rinse the hull after brackish water, keep an eye on galvanic contact between aluminium and stainless fittings, and store the electronics dry over the winter. Most Marcraft boats live on a trailer at home, ready for the next early start.
