For over two decades, Whakatane-based Extreme Boats has built a solid reputation for producing high-quality aluminium boats that meet the needs of families, fishing enthusiasts, and leisure seekers alike. As a family-owned business, Extreme Boats has long been dedicated to crafting reliable, versatile vessels that deliver both performance and durability.
Purpose-Driven Design and Essential Features
The Extreme 560 hard top comes equipped with thoughtful features that ensure stability, safety, and convenience for its users. One of its standout design elements is the flood keel, which enhances stability when the boat is at rest. This feature makes the 560 ideal for fishing, where stability is critical, as well as for leisure outings with family members who may be new to boating.
Its 90-litre fuel tank ensures you have ample fuel for longer trips, while standard essentials like the bilge pump, rod holders, and fully welded underfloor construction offer practical support for both fishing and recreational activities. The boat also includes navigation lights and a switch panel, along with a VHF marine radio for reliable communication—an important addition for offshore boating. The roomy storage areas and comfortable seating make the 560 suitable for extended trips on the water, providing both comfort and functionality.
To protect its structure and give it a lasting finish, the 560 features a nyalic clear coat, which shields the boat’s exterior while maintaining the sleek look of aluminium. Those looking to add a touch of personal style can opt for a coloured hull, allowing some customisation with this model.
Strength and Durability You Can Rely On
Extreme Boats is renowned for its robust builds, and the Extreme 560 hard top continues that legacy. With a standard hull plate thickness of 5mm, it’s designed to withstand harsh marine conditions which we often see in New Zealand, providing peace of mind even in unpredictable waters. The 560 is available with hull upgrades to 6mm or 8mm, ensuring a durable foundation for years of use. The 5-Year Hull Warranty is proof of Extreme Boats’ confidence in its durability.
A Great Introduction to the Extreme Boats Family
The Extreme 560 hard top is positioned as an accessible option in Extreme Boats’ lineup, serving as a perfect starting point for individuals or families looking to step into boating without a steep initial investment. With its well-rounded features and entry-level price point, the 560 appeals to a broad audience, from novices to seasoned boaters who want a dependable, simple vessel. And as economic factors prompt more boaters to seek practical models, the 560 is a timely release, offering an affordable way to experience the quality and performance of an Extreme Boat.
