Extreme Boats has introduced a new addition to its Game King range with the launch of the 746 Game King, revealed as a world premiere at the 2026 Auckland Boat Show.
The new model builds on the success of the long running 745 Game King, introducing a redesigned hull intended to improve ride quality, control and offshore performance while retaining the practical trailerable format that has made the series popular with Kiwi boaters.
James Horman, Managing Director of Extreme Boats, described the new model as the next step in the company’s ongoing hull development.
“It’s incredibly exciting for us to be revealing our all new 746 Game King at the On Water Boat Show. This boat represents the next evolution of Xtreme Boats hull design.”
According to Extreme Boats, the 746 Game King introduces revised hull geometry featuring a steeper stem angle and refined chines designed to produce a smoother and more controlled running attitude. The hull now carries 24 degrees of deadrise forward at station two and 20 degrees at the transom, creating a deeper V entry while maintaining stability aft.
The boat measures 7.48 metres overall with a beam of 2.45 metres and is constructed using 5mm aluminium plate in the hull and transom and 4mm plate in the sides and deck. The standard package weighs approximately 2600kg on the trailer including outboard, and the vessel is rated to carry six people.
Extreme Boats says performance testing of the new model has been conducted with a Yamaha F300 outboard, running with four people onboard and typical equipment including a fridge and bow thruster. With its 370 litre fuel tank, the boat achieved a best cruise speed of about 23 knots, delivering a calculated range of approximately 490 kilometres or 265 nautical miles.
Like previous Game King models, the 746 is designed to offer flexibility for a range of boating styles. Buyers can choose between an open cockpit configuration or an enclosed wheelhouse layout, while modular seating and transom options allow the boat to be customised for fishing, cruising or family use.
The launch at the Auckland Boat Show marks the public debut of the new model, which Extreme Boats says represents the latest stage in the company’s ongoing refinement of its aluminium trailer boat designs.
