Clark 530 Abalone Centre Console AF plate sides ** NOW SOLD **

Centre consoles are a favourite with keen trailer boat fishermen. It's pretty hard to beat the amount of fishable space and all round access these boats offer. Basic centre consoles do have economic advantages due to their layout, reduced weight and resultant smaller engine sizes that can be used to push them along. Taking all these factors into account, a centre console is an attractive assault weapon for fishing of all kinds.

This low hour, Clark Abalone 500AF will accommodate three anglers comfortably, but can cater for four or even five anglers if necessary. Wide gunwales ensure that no matter where you end up fishing, you'll always have somewhere to sit while you're reeling in your catch. The centre console itself delivers a substantial amount of dry storage and there's plenty of room on the dash for electronics to be installed. Importantly, the top half of the centre console folds forward to make carport storage possible in most situations.

The anchor well in the bow section has a cover, which definitely comes in handy when you encounter choppy seas. Hit a decent wave and your anchor will bounce straight out of the well. The cover prevents this and also reduces the amount of clatter as the chain and anchor bounce about.

The Abalone's better than average stability, whether anchored or on the move, can be attributed to its moderate deadrise of 15°. But it isn't until you start to fish in a bit of a chop or you have a few anglers fishing on one side that you fully appreciate the benefits of this stable boat. It's nice to be able to stand and fish and not have to worry about overbalancing every time someone moves over to the livebait tank or switches to the other side of the boat.

Boat and trailer registered until Dec 2023.
