Boat Scene Cairns - New boats and used boats, outboards, trailers, campers, fishing and more

They are a family company and they’ve been around for a while, to say the least. For over 20 years the Allisons have been building boats which are packed with useful features. They don’t believe in wasted space and have as much storage capacity as many much larger vessels. With forms which follow the function for which they are designed, Allisons are immensely practical boats. And judging by the range, they have the family fishing market firmly in their sights.

These boats are built to fish and come with a host of standard features which make it all so much easier. Bait tanks have cutting board lids. Rod holders in the gunwales and underfloor storage bins have the fisherman in mind. And with big, big cockpits for their length, these boats have plenty of room for everyone. Lockers are just about everywhere on these boats, even the sports cruisers because wasted space is just that – a waste.

The Allisons build boats tough and to prove it they offer a 10-year structural hull warranty. They also use quality marine grade components, so the fittings last as long as the boats. Optional extras are available for most models and reflecting the passion for fishing, they naturally enough include rocket launchers and bait tables. And the family side of boating isn’t overlooked either.

Upholstered bunks in cuddy and cabin models provide somewhere for junior family members to sleep, but are comfy enough for adults to nap on too. Reverse chines on the hull make for a stable, family friendly platform at rest or underway in turns. Optional ski poles and boarding ladders make these boats suitable for other family activities too, like snorkelling and waterskiing or wakeboarding. The Allison’s understand what family boating’s all about. It isn’t only about dad going fishing, even if that might be the primary use of the vessel.

With smooth riding deep V hulls and plenty of freeboard, these boats are safe and comfortable. Equally at home inshore or offshore, full fibreglass stringer grids and non skid flooring provide strength and durability. After all, a family boat has to be tough and it has to last.

If you are considering a small to medium sized trailerboat and want a vessel which can turn its hand to a multitude of different tasks as well as providing you with an ideal fishing platform, then an Allison might just be the way to go.

Boatscene have an extensive range of Allisons in the yard. Come and crawl all over one, look at the features and compare it with its competitors for sheer value for money. It’ll stack up pretty well and look a lot better than most.
