Kein ZAR sondern Hysucat
 

Greetings from Australia,

After a lot of research I finally bought my first RIB.
It's a 2007 Hysucat.
I was initially thinking of purchasing a used ZAR 53 but it would have involved a lot of red tape to get it to Australia.
I've only taken the boat out twice but it performs extremely well in choppy conditions and the 2 jockey seats are very practical.

The things I miss with this design:
No large sundeck.
No platforms at the rear of the motor.
No shower
No really big locker.

The other things that are a bit of a problem,
The trailer has to be much deeper in the water to get the boat off the trailer.
It has no rollers and is impossible to push of the trailer even with 2 or 3 people.
2 motors to service but if one breaks down you can still get home very quickly.



The guy I bought it off still has one for sale:

Has had it for sale for at least 3 months at a good price but these boats are just not well known in Australia.

For me its a whole new experience and I will keep you updated as to how it performs this summer.

Wishing all forum members a great Christmas!

Cheers
Thomas

Hello, I do not know these boats, but looks good.
With the wheels on the trailer you can create remedy, get the pride roles and mount it, then running the boat from the trailer alone.
Wish you a Merry Christmas.

Hi Andy
these boats are available in Germany from this dealer:

Aha, I do not know, I've seen it before.
That with the ZAR to Australia I imagine not easy before, much paperwork and import taxes, etc

Seems to be a nice boat, if everyeone wants to take a seat.
Really good, if the water is not flat.
For us and our turns in croatia we would miss the sun deck.

We wish you a lot of fun with your new boat!

Thomas,

congrats! This boat really looks good. One wish I have: the hull seems to be fairly interestic, so I really would like to see a picture taken of the bow and one of the transom.

How and in what waters do you intend to use the vessel?

soweit ich das sehe, hast Du ein Hysucat, der Händler in D in Deinem Link verkauft aber Hysucraft. Sind das dieselben Boote ? :nixweiss
Vor einigen Jahren zumindest verkauften die Jungs vom Berliner Yachtimport die Hysucats in D. Ich glaub 2009 war sogar einer in FN von ihnen im Wasser.

Etwas gewöhnungsbedürftiges Fahren, fast wie ein Futura mit Speedschläuchen in Übergroß. Keine Schräglage und extreme Seitenkräfte auf die Besatzung in Kurven.
Also, aufpassen beim Kurvenfahren sonst steigt einer im rechten Winkel aus :naughty :biere.

Die Motorhöhe ist auch sehr diffizil einzustellen und das Boot braucht eine extrem feine Abstimmung, weil wenn es so richtig "foiled", kommen noch etliche km/h an Speed dazu, die richtige Motorisierung vorausgesetzt.
Damit hatten die in FN ihre liebe Not. Aus den versprochenen 120 km/h mit einem 150HO sind dann doch "nur" knapp unter 100 geworden.
