Nitro 640 Walkaround & 650 Cabin

Nitro 640 Walkaround & 650 Cabin

If you are looking for the perfect all rounder for both the family and the avid fisherman, then you won’t need to look further than the 640 Walkaround or 650 Cabin from Nitro Marine.

These vessels are based on the classic deep V hull shape, which have stylish lines and a proven soft ride, even in the most demanding weather conditions.

Both boats have an overall length of 6.5 metres, a beam of 2.5 metres, recommended engine size between 150hp and 225hp, 170 litre underfloor fuel tank, spacious cabin, and identical layout internally. The only difference between the two vessels is that the 640 Walkaround has, as its name suggests, has a wide gunnel (which is also guarded by high support rails) allowing easier access to the anchor or when chasing a yellowfin tuna doing circle work around your boat.

With a combined boat, motor, and trailer weight of approximately 2100kg, these boats can be legally towed using a late model Holden Commodore sedan when using a braked trailer (see note 3). This is obviously an important factor to consider when purchasing a new vessel, without needing to upgrade your towing vehicle as well.

When paired with a 200hp Mercury 4 stroke outboard, the fuel economy is very reasonable for boats of their size. With a cruising speed of around 20 knots @ 3500 rpm, it’s estimated the vessel uses approximately 20 litres per hour, giving a range of 170 nautical miles to a tank in good weather conditions. At wide open throttle, the maximum speed is 38 knots @ 5700 rpm and it’s estimated to use just over 70 litres per hour.

Both boats have a cabin which can easily accommodate two adults sleeping fully stretched out, which makes for a comfortable overnight stay onboard. Combined with an onboard toilet, high freeboard, fully upholstered cabin with shelving, and cushioned rear seats, these boats are certainly family friendly especially with young children on board.

For the keen fisherman amongst us, the gunnel mount rod holders, stainless steel rocket launcher, bait board, underfloor kill tank or live bait tank, and two fish boxes are certainly a welcome addition. The well-placed grab rails for passengers are also very practical when travelling in blue water.

The Nitro 640 Walkaround with a 135 Mercury 4 stroke is priced at $66,987 or 8.99%*. The Nitro 650 Cabin with a 135 Mercury 4 stroke is priced at $68,876 at 8.99 %*, making these vessels a very attractive proposition indeed.
