DESCRIPTION

The 851 Gen2 Hardtop is McLay’s newest flagship model, purpose-built for serious fishing and overnight adventures. Measuring an impressive 8.8 metres overall with a 2.75-metre beam, this hardtop delivers big-boat capability while remaining trailerable—offering the best of both worlds.

Designed with the overnight adventurer in mind, the 851 Gen2 comfortably sleeps up to four people, making it ideal for weekend fishing trips, extended coastal runs, or relaxed overnight stays on the water. The interior layout can be tailored to suit individual needs, with a wide range of optional extras available to personalise the boat to your lifestyle.

With its strong offshore performance, spacious design, and premium build quality, the 851 Gen2 Hardtop is the ultimate fishing and overnight adventure platform. Its standout design and capability have also earned industry recognition, featuring in Pacific Powerboat Magazine (September/October 2021 edition).
