A range developed with a professional fisherman
The three new models in the Big Game line were unveiled in Venice: 760, 600 and 450. Although this line already existed in the Lomac catalog, the boats were not well received by anglers because they were not equipped for fishing.
The manufacturer has therefore worked in collaboration with the professional fisherman Diego Bedetti, to completely redesign its first three models. All of them are designed to practice the three main types of fishing, trolling, drifting and casting.
The Big Game 760 for 3 different fishing practices
The Big Game 760 is the largest model in the range, with an overall length of 7.68 m and a beam of 3.04 m. Each cockpit area has been designed for a different fishing technique. Thus, the front cockpit is particularly suitable for spinning, the rear cockpit for drafting or bolentino techniques, and the central area for trolling. Each area is equipped with steel rod holders and handrails, fish tanks and lockers.
While the hull of the Big Game 760 remains the same, the floor has been redesigned and made from a single casting to be lighter than previous models. Underneath is a 340L fuel tank and a 30L fresh water tank for the sink and deck shower.
Electronics and home automation
In the rear, the bench seat, which can accommodate 3 people, folds down to free up space and is equipped with 6 rod holders. The central cockpit is protected by a plexiglass windscreen that can be fully lowered or raised. At the front, the console accommodates a seat for passengers. The cockpit is protected by a steel T-Top with rod holders and supports for the radar, VHF and GPS antennas. An audio system also completes the electronic equipment.
The dashboard is equipped with two Garmin GPSMAP 8416xsv with 16" premium multitouch widescreen displays that allow you to control the boat and onboard equipment, and includes an echo sounder module.
A customizable home automation interface allows monitoring of the main devices on board: livewell temperature, power supply voltage, navigation lights, lights, bilge pump, battery voltage alarms, water and fuel levels, ventilation of the technical compartment.
A large autonomous pool
The pilot's seat is supplemented at the rear by a 60 L livewell, which can be filled with seawater either manually or via the home automation system. The water can be adjusted to the desired temperature. In case of overheating, the pump will automatically activate to renew the water and maintain the desired temperature, while oxygenating the tank. On the front of the unit, under the seat, a compartment can also house a chemical toilet.
The two beautiful rear skirts facilitate access to the engine and to the sea, notably thanks to a folding ladder, housed under the skirt.
Motorization
The Big Game 360 is powered by a Mercury Pro XS 300 V8 outboard, but you can choose to have a twin engine or an auxiliary electric motor on the bow. Mercury's Activ Trim system automatically regulates the trim.
The other two models in the range offer a simpler layout and a large sundeck at the bow and receive engines of 40 hp each.
The shipyard having wished to keep its new models secret as long as possible, we will have to wait a little longer to know the prices.
