Ramco Boats; cover, cost and conditions
Ramco is a New Zealand boat brand that has been part of Kiwi boating since 1985 and has passed through several owners. The boats are built in Rangiora on the South Island, in aluminium. Ramco stands for tough fishing and all purpose boats of the kind you see at every New Zealand ramp: flat decks, high sides, rod holders and plenty of storage. The names tell you what they are for, from Fishmaster and Sportfisher to Fish-n-Ski and Explorer. On the small boats the number is the length in centimetres, so the Mates 295 is 2.95 metres long.
Our model records list 18 Ramco designs, all motorboats. The Fishmaster 600 C is recorded from 1993, the Fishmaster 580 C from 1994 and all the others from 1995, and every line ends in 2005. Small families form around three Rangers and pairs of Mates, Fish-n-Ski, Fishmaster and Sportfisher boats, alongside seven single models from the Prelude 440 to the Sportsman 790. Lengths run from 2.95 metres (Mates 295 SN) to 7.3 metres (Sportsman 790); seven boats are under 4.5 metres and three pass six.
These are trailer boats through and through. An aluminium hull shrugs off a rough ramp, but it does want a freshwater rinse after salt water, a check of rivets and welds, and anodes that are not worn away. Every Ramco in our data is now at least 20 years old, so the outboard, the steering and the trailer bearings deserve as much attention as the hull.
