501 Runabout

These 5 metre boats feature high sides for safety and our high performance hull.

The largest boat recommended for non-braked trailers, but the performance is that of a bigger boat.

The 501 Runabout is great as a small family fishing boat or due to the ease with which they plane, they also work well as a family ski boat.

The centre screen is removeable for access to the anchor rhode. So much easier than trying to work through a small hatch.

Good deep cockpit and high sides for safe family boating.

Light enough to be easily handled by women or children at the ramp.

This 501 kitset boat has been fitted out for serious fishing and diving.

First DIYNO 501 with alloy jig/trailer

Simon is underway with the first 501 to use the alloy/jig trailer system. Looks like he is doing a very nice job. He is impressed with the light weight and strength of the alloy trailer.
