Recently launched in Dunedin is this 8.2 metre custom kit.

Powered by a Yanmar 370 driving a Scott 952 jet unit, she achieved 39 knots in light trim on initial sea trial. Currently returning 32 knots in full cruising trim. Set up by the owner specifically for his fishing and diving needs, the boat is superb and a credit to her owner/builder. I was lucky enough to be invited by the owner to spend a few days with him aboard the boat and had the best days boating and fishing I have ever had. The forward raking screens offer superb visability and increase the usable space in the wheelhouse. And the owmers comment:-" I've worked all my life for this boat Jim and I can assure you I am not dissapointed"

The jet unit supplied by Scott Water Jet is superb and a credit to Konrad Scott. The performance figures and handling are excellent. You can contact Scott Water Jet at www.scottwaterjet.com








January 2010 saw the launching of our first 361 kitset. This boat was the feature article for The Shed magazine and was built within a tight time frame over the Christmas period. The boat has been designed as an improved "tinnie" with better stabilty and handling characteristics for safer boating. She is more of a conventional runabout than a dingy. We are very pleased with this little boat. The picture shows an 11 year old on trainer skis being towed by the 361. Two grown men can stand to one side of the vessel and it is safe to stand up and move around the boat. Handling is solid and secure, even a child could drive it safely.









We are just finalising engine details for our 5.15 metre river jet boat. A unique jet boat capable of high speed and very sporty styling. The hull files are done and ready to be cut as soon as we confirm the engine details with the builder in Nelson. The unit will be a Scott Water Jet

We are also in the final stages of our first plastic jet boat to be built by PFP. There will be two models initially, both 3.6m long. One is a two seater the other a four seater.

We had excellent enquiry from the 2010 Auckland Boat Show with a number of potential orders to be confirmed. We also had a good enquiry from the show which  has led to preliminary work on a 601 ocean jet boat. We will be designing a hull specifically for a jet unit to optimise the potential of the jet drive system.
