Construction Standards are High The Hooker Boats made today are the best because their hull laminate is all hand laid for consistency, built with a laminate that has proven itself with commercial and charter fisherman in some horrendous seas by fisherman who use and punish boats on a daily basis. There is no timber used at all and the under floor has the positive floatation (closed cell) that will need to be of a standard in the future and the soft dry ride of the Hookers are second to none. The fully foam filled hulls meet survey requirements. All floors are made from a sheeted honeycomb, reducing weight, and superior in strength, will not rot and adds to positive flotation. All wiring is tinned and twin sheath and high quality stainless steel is use throughout. At the end of the day, it is the employees at Hooker that put their dedication and passion into building the boats that gives a high quality finish.

With deep vee hulls and constructed from fiberglass which absorbs the shock, travelling through the rough waters of Australia is a breeze giving a very comfortable smooth ride. Fiberglass

has been proven to be stronger and less likely to puncher on impact with sharp objects compared to other materials.

Fuels tanks in all Hooker Boats models are of large capacity and are constructed from fiberglass, fitted with dual 50mm fillers for free flowing fuel filling at the petrol bowser.

A solid safe construction has always the priority at Hooker Boats as our motto is Home Safely Every – Time, and there is no compromise when it comes to you and your family getting home safely.

The Hooker Boats are made from materials that are leading edge in the marine industry and are a quality Australian product.
