G'day Ausfisher's
Have a mate looking at the Bar Crusher plate boat.
I have heard nothing about them, I was curious to know if any one
could fill me in on them.
He is in the market for a 6m Plate, I have recommended Fishers which
he is looking at. Is there any other hulls that he should keep in mind.
Thanks In advance Aj
The Bar Crushers are a Victorian made boat. If you have a look on the "Fishnet" site you'll find plenty of info, mostly pretty positive.

if the funds allow buy the Fisher

Hard to go past the Fisher of that size. Easy to customise and if you are close enough, great to see your boat being built.
The show hook, line and sinker hosts hav a 640 bar crusher and it looks good. It looks like it rides good but they arent the best looking boat around. The hosts of the show go out in pretty rough weather and they ride good.
Have a look around before u buy one though...because i dont know the Specs!
cheers alex
going through the same process atm. 6-7 month wait on the fisher.

Hi Alex....just want to put you straight...i am nearly 100 5 sure Hook line and sinkers boat is the 5.6 m Bar crusher....
Cheers Mick
PS...they are bloody expensive ...a 6.4 meter with twin 4s ...99k....
Might be worth googling the melbourne university dive club. They had one for a while but found it did strange things downhill (ie broachy) - hardly surprising since it has no strakes.
I looked at them but found the helm position awkward.

the barcrusher are a good hull they are strong and ride well but they are very wet.
cheers lochie
