660HT Dhufish hits the water its turns heads, as BARRY WISEMAN reports.
Assassin's 660 Hard Top Dhufish is as West Aussie as you can get.
Constructed in Perth for Bunbury's Sportsmarine Boat Centre, all Assassin craft are built tough to suit our Indian Ocean conditions and the hard-top configuration provides shelter for the crew, plus an anchoring point for the optional and ever-popular shade awning extending over the rear deck for those long, hot summer days.
The 660HT is a suburb family/fishing boat, the large rear deck proving space for all occasions whether you are picnicking with the family or heading way offshore with mates to drop a line or pull the craypots.
Its 2.5m beam caters for a pot tipper on one side plus capstan winch on the opposite gunwale, evenly balancing out the weight, particularly on a lumpy ocean. As with all Assassins there is plenty of freeboard, which translates to safety for all on board.
While registered as a 6.6m vessel in centreline length, the actual overall length is 7.7m, a decent footprint on water.
