2026 MCLAY 571 SPORTSMAN HARDTOP

DESCRIPTION

With increasing demand for hardtop boats across all sizes, the introduction of the Sportsman 571 Hardtop comes at the perfect time. Built on the proven 571 Sportsman Cuddy, this model incorporates many of the features found on the top-selling 591 Sportsman Hardtop, delivering impressive capability in a more compact package.

The hull has been specifically modified to accommodate the additional weight of the hardtop, ensuring balance and performance are not compromised. After extensive on-water testing, the 571 Hardtop has exceeded expectations—offering the same stability at rest with three adults onboard as the 571 Cuddy, while maintaining excellent ride quality and handling.

Ideal for anglers and recreational boaters alike, the Sportsman 571 Hardtop is a true all-rounder, delivering protection, performance, and value. It’s set to become a popular choice for those seeking a smaller hardtop boat at an affordable price point.

Approximate hull weight includes a 90hp Mercury outboard and trailer.
