Formosa Sea Rod 520 Centre Console

John Crawford Marine has just listed this robust Formosa Sea Rod 520 side console that will make for an excellent fishing platform for those wanting to explore the more remote parts of the Australian coastline.

This model makes other "5.2m" boats look small, almost overwhelming, with a broad beam, deep internal freeboard and a plate like construction that will deliver a safe and solid ride in choppy, sloppy waters.

Powered by a Yamaha 100Hp four stroke that provides a perfect power match and backed with Yamaha's known reliability. The JCM workshop has completed pre-sale reporting and confirming the ECM report at 627 hours, backed with a sound service history and last service completed by our local Yamaha dealer in October 2024.

Post sale JCM further backs the buyer with a BIA engine warranty for confidence. The Yamaha spins a stainless steel Solas propellor, steering is made light via the Sea Star hydraulic steering system and range is assured as she sips fuel from the upgraded at the time of order, 150L fuel tank.

For those that enjoy the use of an electric motor rather than dropping an anchor, you will enjoy the use of the Minn Kota Riptide Terrova RT 24V 60" bow mount electric motor. Powered by a pair of 12v batterie and comes with the hand remote for ease of use.

The console houses a Lowrance HDS9" colour screen sounder/GPS, a Lowrance Link 8 VHF radio for on water communications and a Fusion stereo for those that enjoy their tunes whilst afloat. Along with the Yamaha engine instrumentation and switching as pictured.

These boats are built for the angler, with a practical and solid bait prep station that includes a live bait tank and rod holders, approx. 9 rod holders are located around the boat and there is plenty of storage for the days gear.

Trailering

Trailering is made easy as the rig sits atop a quality heavy duty galvanised "C" section framed Mackay MLKR5000T trailer. The original trailer was swapped out in 2018 and upgraded with this model for sure footedness of 4 wheels on the road rather than 2.

The hull has been to fitted in such a way that it marries to the hull like a glove. Launching and retrieving is made simple with the trailers design incorporating a "V-Load" system as pictured.

The buyer will also enjoy the on road towing confidence afforded by way that the trailer will be completely serviced prior to handover including the fitting of new springs/new brake discs, new front axle wheel bearings, new brakes pads at a quoted price of $1,661.00
