COL, Janelle and Troy Glass are proud to present the latest Sea Jay Aluminium Boat, the Crusader runabout.
The Sea Jay Crusader is the latest adaptation of the very successful Samurai Hull featuring:
• Increased rising deadrise (sharper entry) for improved ride;
• Increased waterline width (greater planing surface area) for faster planning;
• Increased reverse chine for an even drier ride with maximum stability; and
• A swept bow for increased depth of sides.
The new Crusader runabout will replace the Capri as the premium runabout in the range, with the Seeker remaining as the entry-level runabout from Sea Jay. Col Glass said the latest swept bow configuration in a runabout gives a better feeling of safety up the front of the boat and the soft ride of the Samurai Hull is a pleasure to feel.
“The Crusader provides a prefect mix of a roomy family boat with a good fishing platform for Dad,” he said. “It puts Sea Jay Boats firmly back into the runabout market.”
The Crusader is now available in a 4.9m version, with a 5.2m model to follow in early 2016. The 490 Crusader has a suggested retail price of $21,790. As soon as the 520 is finalised, pricing will be confirmed. For more information, please visit www.seajayboats.com.au
