Rahui loves his boat.
Is it really necessary to start a thread trying to mock him?

I need something clarified ... are Kiwikraft and Aqualine the same manufacturer, or same design? Cause I still see Kiwikraft on the factory whenever I drive past it, and there is no mention of Aqualine there at all ...

Yep-I'm confused too.Confused I've had a look and there are 2 different websites. Taking the Aqualine 545m for example on the Aqualine site they talk about a boat with a walk thru screen and hatch up to the anchor but on the Kiwikraft site the 545m turns into a 550m with no walk thru screen or hatch to the anchor so maybe there is input of one brand into 2 sites??  I have said in the past I reckon their site(s) are sh*t. There is more info on the Kiwikraft/Aqualine on Trade Me than there is on their websites. Ermm

It is confusing but Kiwikraft and Aqualine are made by Kiwikraft engineering down south.
Both are different boats and Aqualine was given as a name used in sales to Aussie as using Kiwikraft was thought to have a impact on sales using the name kiwikraft

The 495 Aqualine and the 515 Kiwikraft are different above the waterline with the kiwi being slightly wider and the Aqualine having the higher gunnel height. Underneath were it counts they are the same.

great riding boats but they have limited room in them, very safe boat which is what I wanted as I fish the winter due to work and also if you know the hawkesbay the fishing is better in the winter if you are on to it, and when the summer comes along just cruise up north cause it is crap in the bay, haha, like way up north

Frewza would be no good as the main reason behind the aqualine was trade in and offered finance
