Work and Play - Bar Crusher fits the bill

Bar Crusher’s removable bait-prep table can be interchanged with a ski pole – to keep all members of the family happy SW
Designed primarily as tough, ‘go anywhere’ offshore fishing boats, every Bar Crusher will also keep the family happy with its removable bait-prep table / ski pole.

The innovative feature allows a sturdy ski pole to be substituted for the bait-prep table, to which ropes can be attached for alternative on-water fun.

Bar Crusher’s Peter Cleland said the interchangeable idea stemmed from the most common boat purchasing decision being based around fishing functionality and family fun.

'Bar Crusher boats are renowned for their superior design, construction and offshore capabilities, and while fishing is the main use of our boats, many people also want a boat that is suitable for other family activities,' Mr Cleland said.

'This simple, yet highly-engineered, removable baitboard / ski pole system achieves that balance.

'Dad and the older kids can head out fishing in the morning, while in the afternoon mum and the younger ones can jump onboard for some tow sports fun.'

Standard with every Bar Crusher package, the robust bait-prep table features three rod / knife / tool holders, removable Polyethylene cutting board and a drain with clear tubing to ensure scales and offal are washed into the water, rather than end up all over the boat.

The ski pole is of equally solid construction and is designed for safe attachment of tow ropes and to withstand a significant load.
