Ally Craft were again pleased to be able to support the 'Zig Zag Foundation'in conjunction with Cunninghams Marine.  This year Ally Craft donated a 3.75 Cody which was auctioned at their official Charity Ball held on the 24th May 2008 in Brisbane. The evening was a huge success with all money raised helping the families of our seriously ill and under priviledged children. We wish to congratulate the new owners and hope they enjoy many hours of boating pleasure in their new Ally Craft. For enquiries please contact Cunninghams Marine at Redcliffe on 07 3284 2342

The question is often asked " are our boats genuine plate boats....???

The meaning of the term 'genuine plate', why our boats are genuine plate boats, and the origin of the debate that has lead to the question being asked by so many of our customers and the general public is outlined below.

In summary the term "Plate Aluminium" refers to the boats built with aluminium sheets that are generally more than 3mm thick.The use of the term has met with controversy over the years from what I can only gather is a lack of consumer knowlege and a lack of information being available.

There are those who claim that the boats built from a production line such as ours, a company who has traditionally only built pressed boats are not real plate boats. The reality is we are building these bigger and stronger boats to meet the demand of todays fishermen as well as families and we are fortunate enough to have the technology and equipment to build them at a faster rate than the "traditional" builders who can spend weeks and months on just one boat.

In summary Ally Craft plate boats are genuine plate boats. Our advantage is that we have the equipment to be able to add the pressings to the bottom sheets for added strength something often the smaller boat builders dont' have access to or the resources to acquire.

With the new 2008 model plate boats now available and featuring a finer entry bow design as well as new cosmetic options the Ally Craft plate boats are really making a name for themselves in the market place.

Please be advised that Ally Craft will be no longer offering trailers as an option. This is effective from the 24th June 2008. Trailer orders that have been placed before this date will still be supplied.

With further improved styling, the genuine plate boat now features the Ally Plate 'Extenda' hull that offers increased beam for better performance along with increased stability at rest.

Enjoy the extra comfort as well as handling and performace, of the new 2007 model range from Ally Craft.

ATRAX = Ally Craft Tradition & Represents Ally Craft Xcellence. The materials we use are the finest available and allied to our manufacturing process we produce the toughest boats on the market, to an enviable level of finish. Extensive cross bracing further adds to the hulls strength carracteristics to produce the strongest combination possible. This process is deemed preferable to the alternative stretch forming method, which although quicker, requires a softer grade of aluminium and leads to an overall thinner bottom sheet. The traditional Ally Craft hull is designed to assist with controll of the vessel in rough water and will help the boat to track in a straight line as opposed to wandering and trying to take its own course. The end result being a stronger boat with superior handling and a smooth comfortable ride for all to enjoy.

Ally Craft  is now in full production with their new Shadow Series thanks to the recent purchase of a new 'press machine' which can produce a more rounded or 'swaged' effect on the bottom sheet giving the boat extra strength. We have also made them wider, with the 3.95 and 4.10 now having the same size beam as the 4.25m. The beam is now 1.90m, however the rest of the specifications remain the same.  

Ally Craft now has available an' Ally Craft Users Manual' which is an essential tool for any Ally Craft boat owner. The manual contains many useful hints for the maintenance and storage of your Ally Craft boat as well as essential safety and operational information.  The manual is standard with any new boat purchased, but if you dont have a copy and would like one sent to you, just email us and we can forward you a copy over the internet or post you one.  Send your details as well as your boat model and Hull Identification Number / Serial Number and we will organise to send one out to you.
