Floating tent camper hits the boat ramp
New boat-trailer-camper combination delivers unique floating under the stars experienceHolidaying in, and exploring, your own region is becoming more and more popular in today’s world which is why Fish Hunter Boats' unique boat-trailer-camper combination unveiled at the 2021 Perth Boat Show could make a lot of sense for many Aussie outdoor enthusiasts.
This is a case of a manufacturer offering the right product at the right time. South Perth-based Fish Hunter Boats is an aluminium boat builder that specialises in no-fuss, tough-built boats for fishers and divers.
Using its 460XS Tourer – a 4.6-metre open tinny designed for a tiller-steer outboard of up to 60hp – as the base, Fish Hunter Boats has modified the trailer to add an aluminium frame that goes up over the boat.
It then adds a roof-top tent and some extra bar work so the structure can carry additional necessities such as surfboards, stand-up paddleboards or even a kayak. To make it more camping friendly the rig also comes with a side awning and swing-out table.
The 4.6-metre tinnie comes standard with bait board/Targa bar with four rod holders, a helm seat with armrests, tackle tray holders, a Lowrance sounder and all safety gear.
The boat on display was fitted with a 60hp Mercury outboard engine in a package priced at
$47,500.
