Adam Gunton landed his dream job as the head honcho of Bonito boats in Steiglitz, Queensland. The line-up includes the 500, 560, and the all-new 660. Take it away, Adam. MB012MJ6FSL1PJJ
Thanks to the team at the captain, was a pleasure to shoot a video of our 500s and 560s . Can’t wait to read the upcoming article! And shooting more videos in the future! Cheers Adam
This young man is a credit to himself and his family, we need more views and shares and someone in local or federal government should use this inspirational young man to help other young men know that with effort and hard work you to can have something worth getting up for everyday. This channel is the most undersubscribed channel on UA-cam and its a bloody shame you don’t have the million subs you deserve
I've met Adam whilst on holidays earlier this year. He is one of the most passionate, genuine, most polite and intelligent boat builders I've ever met. He took me for a full tour and answered all of my questions in full detail. Might I add, he was closing up shop when I arrived and had no issues with reopening up shop and spending the time to make sure I was fully on board with what goes on at bonito boats. Thank you Adam, you're a true gentleman. Regards Sal.
@@phillipanderson9925 hey mate been here for 12 months now and so far the boat is doing great. Another mate has got one & he lives in Newman and tows his to Karratha when he has time off. I was a bit worried with how it would go with the heat, but so far all good still 👍🏾
@@JamaelChristian thanks for the reply I am in Karratha as well been interested in this style for a while as I like fishing the creeks and islands apparently they can fit a 190ltr tank making trips to the Mounties and islands a breeze
So that’s where the 25 Whitewater mold is next, it’s always fun to track down these sorts of things and see where they land. Bonito’s definitely look like a sweet ride!
Adam like everyone has said, you deserve all the success that comes your way. There's allot of people that can learn from your enthusiasm and willingness to have a go. Well done mate 👍 The Captain you need to do a follow-up vid with Adam and his customers/mates using their boats for what they were build for like past vids you have run. Adam deserves as much exposure as he can get. Cheers 🍺
Capt, on website it says 560/660 height on trailer is approximately 2.20metres, im guessing thats stock without t top? Love the boat and want one but need to get it through the garage which is about 2m height, tia
200mm shouldn't be too hard to work around. If it's flat and you can push the boat in rather than back it with a car, you'll be amazed what can be achieved by raising and lowering the jockey wheel to squeeze under the door.
I have a 560. It will definitely handle more than you think Danny. I have a Yamaha 150 on mine and when t rimmed up (depending on weight load in front) can really get through some swell and chop surprisingly well. I have been out to the banks and hards of the Sunshine Coast on a reasonable day with no concerns. Obviously you need to pick the right day with the 500 and 560 but cant wait to see what the larger model is capable of. They are a very well constructed boat, that goes without saying.

He seems to be someone destined to succeed with his can do attitude, unusual for his generation 😁

Great boats (I’ve got the 5.6 cc). Have been out to the 1000m line off Coffs without a worry. Best boat I’ve owned.
Ive owned a 560 Bonito for 2 years now in QLD Weipa & now im moving with it to W.A Karratha, i cant wait to get it in W.A waters 🤘🏾
How did you find it in the pilbara

Epic! I’ve been seeing a few of these boats on the water around the Gold Coast and they look so nice. Keep up the good work Captain and Adam 👌🎣
That 6m CC is going to be a weapon with that deadrise ooooft 🙌
Fantastic Vid, awesome locally built hand crafted boats.
I’d predicted - “watch this space” for Bonitos future with that young fella at the helm.

Well done Adam, the new 660CC is a beast, love it!!! cheers Greg
I like hearing the story’s of these boat builders, love ya work Cap
I was so close to buying a Bonito. They are great looking boats and not many people fault them.
Thanks Captain’ what a super impressive young bloke, be interesting to know how many out takes their where, absolute natural
Awesome!. Reefari is pretty sweet too, there’s some good old sounder vids floating around.
awesome boats, look foward to seeing the bigger centre console.
Cant wait to get it started!!
Me too! Please follow this one Captain
Not too shabby !..
Living the dream mate , good luck to you and your business . Id love the centre console as my pick. 👍
seen one on the pacific highway mid north coast the day i seen this vid good job guys
Is there something that Bonito would recommend that is similarly constructed in the southeastern United States? Very awesome boat!
I have to have one ...the 500 tiller

4 is my lucky number
Hi Adam would you consider building a 5.6 Cuddy Cab
check out the 620X, XT with 300HP, pretty sick!!!
i'm sorry but 13 degrees deadrise. good for GBR chop maybe
They are really narrow, I'd say that's how they get away with it
