Two New Model Releases for Senator Boats at Hutchwilco New Zealand Boat Show

April 11, 2024 by Caroline

It’s set to be a bumper Hutchwilco New Zealand Boat Show for Napier’s Senator Boats, with the leading aluminium boat builder announcing it will display no less than 10 models at the show – which will be held at Greenlane Show Grounds, May 16-19.  

For the first time in decades, Senator Boats will have its own corporate display in Pavilion 3, site #385, where they will showcase their award winning range from 4 metre through to 7.7 metre models.

Sales staff from Upper North Island dealers Auckland Marine Centre, Rollos Marine and Fishing Boats NZ will be on hand, as well as factory staff to lend their expert advice and knowledge on the Senator model range.

For the Napier aluminium boat builder, there will be not one, but two new model releases at this year’s show, plus an exciting new innovation.

Seen for the first time will be the new Senator 500 CU (Cuddy) – which includes a new cabin design for maximum protection from the elements, and an innovative ‘Grip Frame’ system for greater personal stability at sea. This boat also has Senators ‘Mission Modular’ option system throughout which has been born out of last year’s award winning design – the Senator 500 SD (side console).

Senator’s ‘Mission Modular’ option system allows owners to specify the boat however they want it, starting with a base, but allowing a very comprehensive fitout and adding features from a long list that includes a drum winch, bait board, live bait tank and washdown, hydraulic steering. Electric trolling motor mount, underfloor fuel tank, various seating and storage options, a portable toilet, nav lights and more.

Adding to the new 500 CU, Senator will also release their new 650 Cabin Cruiser which will feature an extended lockable wheelhouse complete with overnighting capabilities – this new model is another configuration option of their very popular 650 model.

In addition to their comprehensive model line-up, Senator will be joined throughout the show by four of their brand ambassadors which includes, Ollie Craig from Primal Pursuits, the ‘Whitiangler’ Gene Denton, Mark Cotton of Fishing2Xtremes and Dan Govier – Dan Govier Fishing NZ. All four experienced with a mass of information on boating, fishing and all things Senator Boats.
