Outboard express cruiser 985 GAME KING

The father figure of the Game Kings! With room to burn and ready for what ever comes its way the 985 Game King has been designed for serious adventures and comfort. At Hauraki Express we're fortunate enough to operate a pair Extreme 985s. Our first 985, Midnight Express, was put into survey in 2015, and we rated it so highly we commissioned another one, Midnight Rider, in 2017. Both matched with Volvo D6 330hp engines, they cruise very economically at 25knts burning 2 litres of diesel per nautical mile (and much less at trolling speed). The hulls are incredibly seaworthy, handling the short Hauraki Gulf chop and wind against tide situations with ease. We're also supremely confident taking them beyond the sight of land, and our boats have multiple trips to the remote Three Kings Islands under their belt. The flooding keel provides great stability - even with six excited charter fishing clients leaning over the gunwale to see a kingfish rising from the depths. These boats really do it all - be it a cruising trip with the family and the BBQ, or a hard-core overnight fishing adventure with mates.
