Top Shot - 43’ O’Brien


Well known Australian game boat, the Top Shot is a 43 foot O’Brien designed fly bridge cruiser, repowered in July 2011 with twin 500HP Yanmar engines.

With a top speed of 30 knots and cruise speed of 22 knots, she is known for her excellent sea handling capabilities and with a dry and stable ride, she sets a benchmark for craft in her class.  She is a fine fishing platform, with a wide, spacious and uncluttered cockpit area allowing ample swing room for anglers, game chair and deckhand’s access to tag pole and wire.

Electronic fit out is extensive and includes 2 radios, radar and 2 navigation systems for pin point accuracy on fishing grounds.     Twin Furuno sounders with dual frequency and sea temperature sensors provide state of the art fish-finding capability. 

The air conditioned cabin and saloon plan, affords anglers indoor comforts.   A complete view from the saloon invites instant response to any action in the cockpit. 
Accommodation forward is four V berths with the lower V forming a double berth, when necessary.   The forward cabin also includes an additional double berth and single berth.  The saloon has table and surround lounge seating on the port side with another lounge on the starboard side.  Separate toilet and shower are housed in the cabin. 

Three freezers and two large fridges provide excellent refrigeration capabilities.   Full galley, water maker,  hot and cold water, micro wave, T.V. video, hi-fi radio and CD player are all present for client comfort and satisfaction.
