STABICRAFT 589 XR 5MM HULL PLATE BOAT, ETEC 130 HP  

I acquired this boat from the original owner in July of the previous year. The 2008 Stabicraft 589 XR stands out for its stability, outperforming any other boat I've owned or experienced. The pontoon and hull design of the 589 ensures a dry ride, with minimal spray reaching the windscreen or clears, even under windy conditions. It effortlessly manages large swells.

Accessing the anchor well is easy, with enough room for an adult to stand comfortably. Yet, with the new wide side decks around the cabin and numerous handholds, using the hatch is rarely necessary. Nonetheless, the boat is equipped with an electric anchor and 100m of rope, making it unnecessary to go to the front to lower or retrieve the anchor. The hatch is still simple to use and secure when needed.

The transom incorporates above-floor shelf storage space, housing two heavy-duty 680 crank AMP batteries with dual battery switching and the two-stroke oil tank.
With a capacity for 7 people, I've comfortably had six adults on board in calm conditions. Even with three of us moving to one side to net a fish, the boat remains stable, barely tipping, thanks to the pontoon design of the Stabicraft, which contributes to its remarkable stability.

Friends with boats with V hulls have noted how well this boat performs and handles, particularly in rough and choppy seas.
A walk-thru transom is incorporated into the port side, and has a slide-in door, that when not in use is stored on a bracket further across the transom, a boarding platform is also included as standard, with a dive ladder with access around the sides is so easy.
