TESTIMONIAL

I’ve never written a testimonial before probably because I’ve never felt the need.

You have already started to read so that means that like me, you have a love for boats. In my profession as a Head of Department Technology in a Secondary School I also appreciate quality workmanship.

I must admit that I have been a glass boat man all of my life and I am the very proud owner of a 1996 5.0 metre Seafarer V-Sea.  If you know anything about these boats you will know that they are an excellent sea boat and their design with the half pod and heavy construction allows them to handle the worst conditions and still look after everyone on board.

Today I had the experience of joining Jason Norup and his father Graeme on the sea trial of Jason’s latest design, his 5.2 metre plate alloy Reef Master.  I was also enthusiastic about checking the performance of the 90 HP Evinrude Etec Jason has fitted up to his new baby.   The first time I saw this boat I Offshore Marine Master boats are the genuine offshore performer, that have been designed to produce maximum power with the softest ride. Our innovative and clever design features make Offshore Marine Master boats a pleasure to be in. The use of all the available space allows you to enjoy the convenience of extras that are usually found only on much larger craft. Even the 5.2m has facilities such as a toilet, pressurised freshwater for a sink and shower, deck wash, built in icebox, live bait tanks and flooded kill tanks. With a choice of two-stroke or four-stroke outboards, the Offshore Marine Master range from 5.2m to 7.5m have to be driven to be appreciated.was immediately impressed with the finish which was dead set equal to a glass boat.  Jason is VERY particular with detail and even puts me to shame. The Etec was great – in fact I reckon it sounds and runs a bit like a Honda. But then I have always been an Evinrude/ Johnno man too!

Now the boat.  I remember when I first took my V-sea for a run on Moreton Bay.  The first thing I noticed was how soft she was through the chop.  Let me tell you today has changed my mind about tinnies or at least plate boats for ever.  As soon as Jason got her up on the plane I realized that this was as good if not better than my V-sea.  Jason gave me a drive to compare.

 The sea out from Pt. Cartwright was lumpy and lots of boats were coming home.  I reckon we were looking at about 1-1.5 metres of swell and a freshening North Easterly.  I would have been going home too but we were there to see what thisOffshore Marine Master also builds a range of power cats, all of which deliver a soft and dry ride. The JayCat range is fitted out according to customer’s specifications and needs, and is produced in 5.5m to 7m walk around cab, cuddy cab or full family cruiser. These boats, like the Offshore Marine Master range, have all the features and comforts with the added performance and ride only a power cat can give. boat could do.  After I had my little play, Jason took over the wheel and said to us oldies “hold on boys”.  Well we did but didn’t need to.  Jason hammered this plate boat and not one drop of spray hit the windscreen let alone came in over the side.  Anyway if it did the self draining cockpit would have taken care of that.

You know when you go up a big swell outside and you look out over the bow and it feels like the bow of the boat is about to drop back top earth without the rest of it.  We did this all morning and rarely did this boat slap back to earth.  When it did it was only because Jason was driving this thing like a madman.

Look I’m certainly no expert with boats, but I know enough to say that if I was in the market for a new boat I reckon I would have Jason weld me one of these up to Offshore Marine Master also builds a range of power cats, all of which deliver a soft and dry ride.

What about the creature comforts? This boat was Jason’s deluxe model with toilet, sink, deck wash etc.   

 

 My son once joined a neighbour in his tinnie for a day on the bay and came home and said “Dad, don’t ever buy one!"  Well son, these plate boats designed and built by Jason will change your mind forever.
