This year Surtees presented the whole family at the show – the 540 Workmate Hardtop, Workmate with garaging roof and the 540 Pro Fisher, the center console version of the popular hull.

Lots of great comments regarding the practicality, storage facility and of course the huge fishing space for a little boat. Clever design and understanding the need of Fishermen, Surtees it the nail on the head.

Like all other models in the range, the Surtees 540 Workmate Hardtop features the SiQ as standard, including Anti-roll™ Stability Ballast Technology, Life Saver™ Airtight Flotation Compartments, and a 10 year worldwide hull warranty. With its 190L Water Ballast Tank the little boat is incredibly stable on the water, easy to tow, store and just the perfect family addition to any house hold.
