If I am not mistaken Supreme Craft is one of the Suzuki house boats much like Seacats are for Yamaha. Kamassi Craft in St Francis have acquired the mould for both Supreme Craft and Butt Cat which I think explains the similarity with the KC.
They are very similar with the only difference being the respective deck layouts between the two at the show.

Thanks to Raptor & Greenhorn for posting pics up of the show, mana coming your way guys.
I really like that Benguela 530 behind the Kamassi 520. Are they both made by Sliver Lake Marine. Are they in the same price bracket or is the Benguela a little/ alot more?

Either way the KC 520 is a winner.
Although the big boats look great and i am sure we would all sell our eye teeth for them, the logistics that come with the boats are usually the killers.
the Kamassi does not require a hugely over priced thristy tow vehicle, Does not need a serious set of ponies to get her moving and with a near perfect deck lay out for those of us that spend our days throwing lead at fish, I definitely rate it as a winner.
I was also impressed with the Bay runner at the Suziki stand. Nice little boat and nice price.

A Pleasure Porra.
Wish i had taken more. The beguela is a great boat. I like the centre console...there`s jus so much space.. and the finish is just awesome. I`ve heard of a couple of guys buying moulds and then taking them to Silverlake Marine for the finishing. They really do a great job.
For me launching through the Breede mouth, a forward console is better. Thats why the Twister was my choice of boats at the show. The one thay had there was a bit over the top for me with the 2 x 175`s and electronic equip it had on. but also great finishing and loads of storage space.
Cheers

In stede daarvan om die bote meer bekostigbaar te maak word die goed net al hoe duurder. Party ouens se idee van vakansie hou is mos om soos 'n zombie net daar te sit vir die hele 2/3 weke sodat hulle uitgerus by die werk kan terugkom.
As jy nou so 'n boot deel met ander dan moet alles op die ding aan almal se vereistes voldoen. Die ouens speel nie met geld nie so hoes gaan jy hoes dis verseker en aan die einde van die dag het jy nog steeds niks nie.
My idee van vakansie hou is ek moet heeltemal sat by die huis terugkom :-D Ek sal by die werk rus.
Om te lewe is mos 'n mens se primere funksie, nie om te werk vir daai paaiement nie ;-)
Ek se mos die vakansie aanbieders dink mense moet net daar kom slaap en vreet. Hulle wys meer prentjies van die beddens en die kos as van enige iets anders.

To be honest, I haven't a clue - but a thumb suck would be R170 - R180k for boat on trailor?? and R360k+ ready to fish with 2x 70 4's??
How heavy is the hull?

The boat at the show was on a show special on trailer with 2 60 merc 4 strokes and HDS if I am not mistaken for R315K normal price around R350/360. About R100K more than the KC.
The trailer was awesome and very well built. Would imagine it would weigh a bit. Boat around 700kg dry - with motors and kit say just over ton + trailer 1500 - 1700 my guess?

Looking at the 2, Kamassi 520 and Benguela 530, can you see or justify the extra 100k??
Finishes are superb. The KC is a fishing boat and extremely functional. It has more rigid lines whereas the Benguela is more rounded as is the current trend, Seacat, CobraCat etc etc.
From a ytility persepctive I wouldn't be able to justify the differences which are pretty much about looks.
That said all women work pretty much the same way to???
