Tectrax Ltd and Dunedin based alloy boat builders Southern Boats, expand their reach through a new partnership that will deliver an amphibious boat second to none.

In yet another innovation from Tectrax, the class leading amphibious solutions company has announced their next development with partner Southern Boats, one of New Zealand's best skilled manufacturers of hand-crafted alloy boats.

Both New Zealand owned and operated businesses are well known for their high quality products and together have designed what will be an impressive package that will change the way people think when considering their next boat.

Based on the popular and highly regarded XP726, the TT756 has been meticulously designed to encompass the revolutionary Tectrax hub-mounted electric amphibious system and will be spec'd to the same level as the XP range with most of the normal extras available to meet your individual needs. With Southern's attention to detail and Tectrax's cutting edge technology, the TT756 ticks all the boxes in style and flexibility to deliver you the boat of your dreams.

Fraser Brown, Sales & Marketing Manager for Tectrax said, "When looking for our next partnership, we felt this was the perfect collaboration, Southern Boats are well known for their craftmanship, safety, outstanding performance and impeccable finish, which are all non-negotiable qualities for our customers."

With the big reveal only a matter of weeks away, Jono Bakker, General Manager of Southern Boats said, "We've worked really hard on the TT756 and are excited to see the vessel finally come to life. Working with the team at Tectrax has been a seamless experience and we've felt well supported along the way. We're impressed with their innovation and cutting-edge technology, not bad considering the brands roots all started with an idea in a Kiwi bloke's back shed".
