Can a 5m centre console handle a 140-kilometre offshore mission across the Hauraki Gulf? The Kingfisher lads set out to answer that question — with one target in mind: monster yellowtail kingfish.
Watch the full adventure here:
This is the ultimate test for a small boat. An 86-mile round trip pushing deep into open water, all in pursuit of one of New Zealand’s most hard-fighting sportfish. The Kingfisher 510 Powercat Centre Console took on the challenge — and delivered.
The award-winning twin-hull design handles the long offshore run with confidence, offering superior stability, a smooth ride through chop, and a seriously capable fishing platform once you’re on the grounds. The 510 punches well above its size class, giving anglers the ability to access deep-water territory that many boats its size simply can’t reach safely.
The result? The crew found their kingfish — and the 510 proved exactly why it’s earned its reputation as the ultimate NZ fishing weapon.
The Setup:
- Boat: Kingfisher 510 Powercat Centre Console
- Engine: Honda BF135
- Electronics: Minn Kota Instinct Quest 72″ Shaft with 24V Lithium Battery
