The Shark BRX 610, an all-aluminium bowrider for fishing

The new Shark BRX 610

Silver Boats - imported into France by Husson Marine - presented its latest model, the Shark BRX 610, at the Grand Pavois. This 6.10m open is entirely made of aluminium - interior and hull - and is presented as a more adventurous model, for fishing.

The Shark BRX 610 keeps it aluminium hull which has already proven itself on the rest of the range. The change takes place on the inside, with a coating made of aluminium instead of fibre.

In the aft cockpit, there is a right-hand bench seat whose two side seats fold down (as do the backrests) to create more cockpit space on the one hand and allow easy entry on board without having to step on the upholstery.

There is a bowrider on the front (as on the other models of the range), but more spacious, where it is possible, as an option, to add a fishing foot that rotates 360°. The upholstery is here optional. There is also a livewell on board with a seawater pump on starboard and a large central locker for storing equipment. On board, no rod holders, this is an affordable option (39 euros) that will allow you to install it wherever you want.

In the cockpit, a table can be set up and the two helm station seats can be turned to enjoy a meal. The steering console on the starboard side is protected by a large windshield with a central opening and houses a 7-inch GPS depth sounder

"The idea is to offer a beautiful boat for fishing, with nice finishes, nice upholstery, etc... " explains Laurent Husson, the importer.

The Shark BRX 640 is the same boat as the Shark BR, but with a few modifications such as a more sober rear bench seat, the addition of a livewell and an aluminum interior finish.

On the back, there is a ski mast that acts as a handrail. The freeboards are high (80 cm) and guarantee safety on board. This model is powered by an 80 to 115 hp outboard motor (recommended power of 90 hp) for a speed of between 30 and 32 knots.

The recreational version of the Shark BRX 610 - the Eagle BRX 610 - will be unveiled in May. This version will be more rustic than the BR range, but with more upholstery. The largest model in the range, the Eagle BRX 610, will be unveiled in May Eagle 640 BR will also be available in aluminium version (Shark 640 BRX).

Awards 39,000 including tax (electronics and engine included). The model exhibited at the Grand Pavois was at 42 000 euros with a 90 hp engine and some options (closed bowrider, hydraulic steering, USB port in the cargo hold...).
