Naiad 8.5 by Kirby Marine | 2020 model

www.motoryachtsunlimited.com.au
Jump the queue and slip into this exceptionally well maintained vessel. She is designed for multipurpose making her ideal as a dive boat, fishing boat of bay hopper. It doesn't really matter about the ocean conditions as the Naiad is capable of handling the rough stuff if the weather turns foul.
This was my first opportunity to test run a Naiad and I have to say - she is a beast !!I f you really want to get somewhere in a hurry, the twin 300HP Mercury V8's will have you sprinting to 53 knots. That's ideal if you want to check you pots or squeeze in a surf before work. Lock her into a turn and the twin engines help her grip the water, forcing you to hold on. Interestingly she doesn't lean inwards but remains on a level plane. At rest she is very stable, unaffected as you relocate your weight from port to starboard.
Constructed using marine grade aluminium with a D section foam filled bumper, she's also ideal as a tender to a larger vessel. Unlike tradiotnal RIBS, the tubes are not inflatable so there is no need to stress about puncturing them with a hook or gaff.
