THE STORY BEHIND THE PRODUCT

As an avid marine leisure enthusiast, Angelo Siokos loves getting out on the water at any opportunity. After buying a jet ski, he was initially very thrilled at the prospect of spending as much time as possible enjoying his latest investment, and sharing the fun and excitement with his family and friends.

Unfortunately, like so many other jet ski owners, he quickly came to realise that the reality was far removed from his dream. The work, effort and time needed to launch, retrieve, flush, charge and store his jet ski often made the whole experience difficult, cumbersome and significantly reduced the pleasure that he had anticipated. Consequently, he was not using his jet ski nearly as much as he would have wished.

Convinced that there had to be a solution, Angelo researched the products available to improve his usage and enjoyment. He found that the products currently on the market were average at best, and offered little to reduce the workload and time required to get the most out of his jet ski. He decided to take matters into his own hands. He designed and had the first prototype of the Ultimate Jet Ski Lift manufactured.

The Jet Ski Lift you see today has come a long way in design, materials and construction, and is now the fully functional and professionally finished Ultimate Jet Ski Lift available to jet ski owners worldwide.

Angelo’s wife and daughters now also enjoy the jet ski regularly without needing his assistance, as there is no physical effort required to launch or retrieve it.

Available with an optional extra chaffing cover made of marine-grade soft carpet that will not scratch your boat; reduce accidental damage, wear and tear caused by UV; and generally prolong the life of the fender. Super Fender reduces stress on the boat and pontoon with the load spread over a greater area.

Constructed of UV-treated super tough vinyl, the fender material is a cylinder of the finest high-density energy-absorbing material. Uniquely designed, all structural seams are high-frequency welded for durability and appearance.

Each Super Fender is custom-made to fit each installation. It is fixed well clear of the water, and therefore remains attractive and ensures long-life expectancy.

The fenders are mounted to your pontoon using uniquely design tracks – top and bottom. To ensure your boat is protected, corner sections and right angles are available to cover your pontoon, while the zippers of the fender cover are sealed to keep water out.

When you are serious about looking after your boat, the choice is easy with Super Fender. Each one is custom made to fit your pontoon, and available in a choice of colours to suit your pontoon jetty. The Super Fender is made to measure, delivered and installed by experienced marine trades people. The product is covered by a full 12-month warranty.

Here are some things to consider

Skid Rollers

Skid trailers are best with boats with a very simple, plain and deep-Vee bottom, so the boat aligns itself as it moves up the trailer. Some boat owners simply do not have a choice. Here is an example: For fibreglass, rollers are not a sensible choice. Gelcoat is easily scratched. It is not great idea to scratch the barrier that keeps the water out of your fibreglass boat! Therefore to slither your fibreglass boat across Teflon-coated (skid) rollers will result in the skids being covered in dust, grime and salt crystals scratching against the gelcoat every time you launch and retrieve your pride and joy. At Swiftco, we do not advocate a skid trailer for any fibreglass boat. The only exception to this rule is for a plate aluminium boat that is unpainted with a 5-6mm plate.

If you are chasing a tonne limit, skids are to be considered, as they will be lighter and add less weight to the unsprung trailer.

Aluminium will slide on and off Teflon-covered skids easily, so make sure your boat is always tied. We have seen too many people untie before descending the ramp resulting in a boat pre-launching before it has even touched the water. Likewise, we have also seen, people not tying their boat until they drive to the top of the ramp, again resulting in a boat relaunch on the way up!

Wobble Rollers

A benefit to Teflon -coated wobble rollers is your boat weight will be distributed evenly over many different points offering more support across the hull than skids.

One of the main advantages of wobble rollers is that the running gear, including springs, hubs, breaks, etc, do not need to be submerged into the water as far. This is a great advantage in salt water due to corrosion problems on hubs and bearings over time. It is also very advantageous in launching or retrieving in low tide, as the trailer does not have to be lowered as far into the water as skid-roller trailers. If you use a ramp with high tidal changes, depending on your location in Australia, or on shallow or short ramps, this can be a deciding factor to consider.

In summary, the above are just the first few things to consider. It is just a start. Much depends on you, your boat and the type of boating you do, how often you will be launching and retrieving, how far you will be towing your boat, hull shape, size, etc. Other considerations to take into account are leaf or torsion axle/suspension system, breaking systems, and your actual BMT (boat, motor and trailer) weight. This includes the weight of your boat plus weight of motor and onboard water, petrol, tools and all gear you will be towing in your boat.

Trailers are never a straightforward purchase. Selecting the correct trailer for your boat requires expert research, superb engineering and manufacturing process, along with the individual boat type and model research to ensure the correct match and synergy between the boat and trailer.

Swiftco Trailers are a family business, manufacturing and assembling trailers in Australia for Australian harsh conditions for over 42 years. You can trust your journey on a Swiftco Trailer. Swiftco have built their reputation on trailers of possession, everything from tinny trailers, 3-8m boat trailers, shark cat trailers, single, double and quad jet ski trailers, and even equipment trailers.

“We have outgrown our previous location, driven by customer demand, the addition of new products, and an increase in traffic here at The Boat Works,” said Mr Cain, who has owned and operated AM Wholesale for six years.

“The new premises are situated at a hugely visible location on the corner of Beattie Rd and Waterway Drive. We have a massive new showroom and several new and innovative products to introduce to the boating public. This is a great opportunity to propel our business to next level!”

AM Wholesale represents the world’s leading brands in desalination systems, marine navigation packages, on-board entertainment, cameras, communications, and marine LED lighting.

The new AM Wholesale Superstore is the next phase in the expansion of The Boat Works over the past three years – a $20 million investment by The Boat Works owner and CEO, Tony Longhurst.

The AM Wholesale Superstore was officially opened last month in an elaborate gathering of VIPS, clients, media, and industry to inspect AM Wholesale’s cutting-edge products in marine electronics and equipment. Special guests Cr William Owen-Jones and Cr Cameron Caldwell were in attendance to oversee the ribbon-cutting ceremony by Mr Cain’s wife and business partner Raechel.

“We are very excited about this new phase. It’s exhilarating and nerve wracking at the same time. All signs indicate a positive, buoyant market at present, and we are confident our product lines will surpass the boating public’s expectations. We are pleased and proud to be part of the vibrant offering at The Boat Works.”

It is a FAB Dock.

It is the very latest in dry docking technology. The Australian/New Zealand team that developed it spent the past six years perfecting it. And what a job they have done! Not only have they solved all the problems associated with previous systems. But they have been able to bring it to market for about half the price of current alternatives.

With the rapid improvement in materials over the past decade, a 12-volt inflatable dry docking system will quickly banish the old-style hard plastic systems to the way of the dodo bird and typewriter. A FAB Dock is easily installed, easy to move, easy to use, and easy to maintain. As it runs off the 12-volt power from your boat, there are no running costs.

As well as the obvious economic and performance benefits of keeping your boat in your own personal dry docking system, a FAB Dock will help you berth your boat, first time, every time, single-handed. So whether you are new to boating, or your partner is getting sick and tired of leaping from the boat and then getting yelled at for tying the wrong rope to the wrong bollard, then it is time that you had a look at how easy a FAB Dock will make this normally stressful event.

With FAB Docks already in eight countries and hundreds of them in the water all around Australia, the word has already gotten out there on just how cost effective this revolutionary system is. Even though FAB Docks can be built to cater for boats up to 100 feet, the owners of the company are very excited to have recently launched their Universal Range, which caters for most monohull boats up to 29 feet. This means that the FAB Dock price range now starts at just $6990, with the most popular size being boats between 25 and 29 feet, which costs $9990.

Travel for extended periods without having to dock for freshwater refills. Make your own water anywhere.

The Dometic Sea Xchange watermaker provides recreational boaters with the luxury of creating your own water while cruising on the ocean. The extremely compact SE Series produces 350 GPD (1,325 LPD) to 1,200 GPD (4,542 LPD) using reverse-osmosis technology to turn seawater into pure water.

The Dometic Sea Xchange SE fits anywhere. The 2-in-1 modular or compact frame lets you make the best use of any available installation space. The components disassemble into individual modules which can be mounted separately for more flexibility.

Built for marine reliability, durability and rust resistance, the SE Series has a 316 stainless-steel high-pressure pump, 316 stainless-steel high-pressure regulating valve, and 316 stainless-steel boost pump motor shaft. The high-pressure pump and the boost pump are the most durable and efficient pumps available. The totally enclosed, fan cooled (TEFC) motor has thermal protection.

Dometic SeaXchange Watermakers will also automatically back flush the whole system after it’s been turned off, or flush automatically as part of a program function.

It can be remotely turned on and off without adjusting the high-pressure pump. This makes deciding on a SeaXchange Watermaker even easier. Some watermakers will want you to go down in the engine room to turn the High Pressure pump down before starting.

Other features include a backlit computer controller display and seawater membranes that are commercially available.

The addition of a quality, reliable Dometic SeaXchange watermaker has may advantages. Carrying hundreds of litres of water on board will increase the drag on your boat, burning more fuel. Additionally, you have the peace of mind that your water is fresh and pure.

Dometic Marine, a division of the Dometic Group, is the world’s largest supplier of innovative and technologically advanced comfort systems and equipment for yachts and pleasure boats. Some of Dometics major brands include Cruisair Marine Air Conditioning, Sealand Marine Sanitation and Waeco fridges and freezers. They are a major supplier of HVAC, engine room ventilation, watermakers, and toilet systems to the commercial, workboat and military markets.

For a limited time we are able to offer (at no extra cost) the Remote Panel with the SE600Z compact, allowing you to turn on your Watermaker from the helm.
