TROPIC 12

THE MAGNUM 12
Whether you're into chasing Barra, Mangrove Jack, Red's, Trout or Snook, the Tropic 12 is an ideal small estuary/ river boat. Easy on the pocket and packed with features left only to your imagination, the Tropic 12 maximizes it's space with its open and roomy interior, loads of storage and fish-able cockpit space. The design itself shows forward seating, but if you’re into casting lures amongst the mangroves and along river banks and wanting a forward casting deck instead, then you can simply convert the forward seating arrangement into one. The design also comes with side decks for those wanting a place to store rods or when trolling the sand flats etc and she also has storage compartments within the seats .

Within the seats there are 2 large sealed lockers, for all those items you may want locked away, while still retaining the foam filled buoyancy compartments in the outer seat sections, as required to comply with the standards. Designed for ease of construction for the first time builder, it had to be simple and easy to build, without spending everything you have.
