This interest came from a diverse range of commercial boat operators and owners, fishermen, port authorities and surveyors, who were 'impressed with the space, stability and performance that the new boat provides'.

'It is still early days for the 695, but if the level of interest generated at Seawork is anything to go by it will be an extremely popular boat indeed,' Mr Pengelly added.

Available in a range of Yamaha engine options, Powercat believes the new 695 series is one of the most significant developments in the company’s history and takes the product offering onto a completely new level.
