Summer’s just around the corner, and you know what that means – it’s time to hit the water and catch some serious fish!
If you’re an Aussie tradie who loves to boat, you’re probably looking for a vessel that’s gonna help you land the big ones and have a ripper of a time doing it.

That’s where the Bar Crusher Raider series comes in. These beasts are designed for serious fishing on the continental shelf, out to offshore reefs and in the bays. You’ll find each boat is packed with the tools to make you a fishing machine.

“The Raider series puts a top-of-the-range premium package together for our customers,” Bar Crusher Sales Manager Matt
Urzia said.
“They showcase everything we can possibly think of in terms of options and electronics to put in Bar Crusher Boats.”
Meet the Raiders
If you’re looking for options, Bar Crusher’s got you covered with their range of Special Edition models, including the 670XT Reef Raider, 670C Bay Raider and 670HT Shelf Raider. Each Raider is designed for specific fishing applications, so you can choose the one that suits your needs.

“Each model is set up a little bit different to suit the three of the main styles of fishing our customers like to engage in,” Matt explained.
“The offshore game fishing handled by the Shelf Raider. The Reef Raider (is) doing your more up north fishing, casting poppers and lures out the front and sides, with a bit of bottom bashing too.
“Then finally the Bay Raider which is more suited to anchoring and fishing in the bays.”
With its factory-fitted Seakeeper RIDE 450 system, premium marine electronics, thermal imaging camera, and bow-mount electric outboard motor, you’ll be ready to tackle even the toughest fishing conditions.

The Reef Raider’s got a sick paint scheme, with a Satin Black hull and hard top, and Aircraft Grey side decks and inside the boat.
And with Shadow Chrome hull graphics, you’ll be looking like a boss on the water. But it’s not just about looks — this boat’s built for performance.
Whether you’re a tradie looking to get away from it all on the weekends or a serious angler looking to land the big ones, the 670XT Reef Raider’s got you covered.
The bells and whistles keep coming across all three boats, with Matt stoked to be unleashing these three on Aussie anglers.

“We’ve put together some really high-spec packages for our customers that demand the best of everything,” he said.
“Top-of-the-range alloy trailers with max load ratings of three tonne, fly by wire electric shift Suzuki’s on all three models which come with Suzuki Position Control (SPC). They’ve also got Flir M232 thermal cameras and Doppler Radars.
“Then every other option we can possibly think of to go on a boat.”
Why settle for boring when you can ride in style and catch some serious fish with a Bar Crusher Raider? Get ready for summer and grab yourself a Reef Raider – you won’t regret it.
