Kevlacat 3500 Hardtop Review
Trader Nick's, the premier resort on Lord Howe Island uses the Kevlacat to reach previously inaccessible locations offshore quickly and in comfort for up to 12 passengers.
Kevlacat 5.2 Review
As far as Offshore fishing boats go, trailable ones anyway, the Kevlacat 5.2m has always been one of the best.
Kevlacat Flycaster Review
But non-fly fishers shouldn't get stuck on the name along the side of this boat. It's a 'sportfishing' boat, which includes fly fishing.
Kingfisher Royale 50 Sports Flybridge Review
There's a hint of Mariner and Riviera about the side window profile, but the people involved with this project appear to have achieved their original ambition to create a distinctive new cruiser line
Kirby Air Raider Review
Amazingly, with the engine throttled back to 23-25 knots, this is good for over 1000 miles. Graham can cruise from Darwin to Broome if he feels like it.
Labsport Extreme Boat Review
The finish is so good that one punter at the Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show earlier this year asked if the boat came from the United States.
