FISH OR CRUISE? NO NEED TO CHOOSE WITH THE NEW 905 PILOTHOUSE

The latest model from Quicksilver Boats eliminates the invisible line between fishing and cruising

The latest model from Quicksilver Boats is set to make its debut at tomorrow’s Oslo International Boat Show. Striking the perfect balance between comfort and performance, the new 905 Pilothouse offers serious amenities for fishermen while remaining absolutely adapted to cruising.

The boat’s deep-V hull lets it conquer all weather and sea conditions both inshore and offshore. Powered by up to 500 HP from the Mercury outboard engines, the 905 Pilothouse is dynamic as well as robust. The cockpit provides ample seating with room for up to 10 passengers. A double passageway with additional cockpit access via a portside sliding door makes circulation easy and safe.

Up to six overnight guests can be accommodated in a full size forward berth, convertible cabin berths and a sizeable aft cabin. The 905 Pilothouse also includes a fully separate head with a pull-out shower and an equipped galley with sink and LPG stove.

For fishermen onboard, the cockpit fish station includes a sink, cutting board, cold water wash, knife holder, storage and rod holders. Hardcore anglers can even upgrade with the Fish Pack and add a livewell, raw water washdown, refrigerator drawers, in-cabin safe rod storage and even more rod holders. While it seems like a lot of equipment, the fish station slides back with the simple press of a button, leaving the cockpit completely free.

The 905 Pilhothouse definitely reconciles fishing and cruising with a host of great,functional features that take it up a notch from other standard fishing boats.
