Mike advised the boat has a 
large 160L fuel tank which gives 
it an enormous range for owners 
wanting to go offshore fishing and 
would suit serious game fishos.  
The Honda BF115hp is a good 
match to the boat, it provides 
top end speed when needed 
and exceptional fuel economy.
We trimmed the boat right 
down and pushed into the chop 
off Slipper Island at 29 knots 
and 5000 rpm to see how the 
hull would handle it. It simply 
shrugged off the rough conditions, 
and I was impressed by both its 
performance and how little spray 
came aboard, the hull design is very 
dry for an open centre console.

After testing the boat’s performance 
and taking running shots of the 
boat, we headed around the top of 
The Honda BF115hp is a great 
match to the new 580CC and with 
a 160L underfloor tank, the boat 
has serious range for game fishing.
There are great storage options under 
the casting deck and bait station as 
shown here, the wooden bait board is a 
nice touch as used on the seat up front. 
The large casting deck is 
impressive and provides a 
top platform for keen lure 
anglers to cast from.
