Mick's Case - 110km highway crash!
Mick was towing his boat back home after a fishing trip to Hinchinbrook in late 2007. Doing 110km/hour on the Bruce Highway, he heard an almighty crashing sound and saw his 4.55 boat skidding along the bitumen, then catapulting into a cane drain.
What should have been a life ending experience for any boat, ended up being a few hardly noticeable small surface abrasions. Mick said he was amazed at how tough the Polycraft boats were when pushed past any normal boat limits. He was equally impressed with how quick the Polycraft was to fix, to the point where the hull looked as good as new.

Mark's Case - squashed by a 124ft superyacht!
Mark Schmack, the Operations Manager for Orakei Marina in New Zealand picks up the story –
“We’d just launched the new Ermis 2 (a 38m (124ft) superyacht capable of doing 60 knots) when there were a few problems with the berthing and the Polycraft tender ended up side on to Ermis 2 and between the dock. The driver jumped out just in time to see both port and starboard sides of the Polycraft bend up and smash the centre console windscreen and then also hit the motor cover. You can see on the motor where it hit.”
This is the picture of the Polycraft after the accident and apart from a buckled bowrail, overall it’s not looking too bad.”
