This blue water sport fisher design was commissioned by an avid fisherman for both coastal and Pacific Island fishing. With over 6000L fuel capacity, Tonga is well within range. The hull form is moderate V fine entry for the ultimate in head sea performance. Maximum beam across the chines aft also provides a stable fishing platform. The transom below the waterline has been chamfered forward to greatly assist when backing down. With silent chines incorporated into the topsides just above the loaded waterline and one planning strake per side, and generous flair, the hull give’s a dry soft ride in all sea conditions.
