HISTORY
Swiftcraft built three 33ft GRP boats for the RAN (Seaboat, Fleet Utility Boat and Harbour Personnel Boat), working out of HMAS Melbourne, Platypus, Creswell and the Fleet Support Unit through the 1970s and 80s. This hull came out of that program and originally ran twin Perkins diesels through the same Walter V-drives. A deep forefoot and long run: sea-kindly and heavy, built to get people home in a seaway, not to plane across a flat harbour.
Inspect under cover at Shell Point Marina by appointment. Happy to walk you through every invoice and the work still to come.
