Worth knowing
Topcraft; cover, cost and conditions
Topcraft builds compact open motorboats for lakes, rivers, the coast and use as a tender. The model number is close to the length in centimetres: the 430 is 4.3 metres long, the 605 about 6.05 and the 627 about 6.27. The word after the number describes the version, from Economic for the basic boat and Open for the plain open layout to Grande for a roomier console boat and Tender for the newer, larger models with sunpad and bathing platform. Simple hulls, plenty of seating and outboard power are the common thread.
Our records hold six Topcraft models, all motorboats, in two generations. Around the turn of the millennium came the 430 Economic (2000 to 2006) and the 435 Millennium (2001 to 2007), both 4.3 metres, plus the 5 metre 495 Open (2001 to 2007). After a gap the second generation followed: the 605 Tender at 6.05 metres from 2016 to 2024, the 484 Grande at 4.84 metres from 2018 to 2023 and the 627 Tender at 6.27 metres from 2022 into the most recent build years.
A Topcraft is usually towed, launched and hauled out many times a season, so the trailer, the winch strap and the transom deserve regular checks. Lock the outboard when the boat sits in a harbour or on a driveway. The early boats from 2000 to 2007 often benefit from fresh upholstery and a careful look at the floor and fittings before a new season.
