WHITTLEY MARINE GROUP Announce ALUMINIUM BOAT SERIES FOR SALE Across Five Factory-Owned Locations Nationally
Australia’s leading national trailer boat retailer and service provider, Whittley Boating Centres, welcomes a new aluminium boat range into its five dealerships. The new models, under the new AL series, offer Australian-made, affordably priced turnkey BMT aluminium boat packages to the Whittley brand.
National Whittley Dealership General Manager Brock Cohen had this to say about the exciting expansion of the Whittley brand. “As the country’s leading fibreglass trailer boat builder, with factory-owned dealerships across the country, the natural progression for the brand is to move into an aluminium series of boats and bring another generation and style of customer into our dealerships and boat brand. This decision is part of the Group’s strategic plan to offer a complete full-circle trailer boat experience for consumers across the sale, service and boating accessories for all things trailer boating across the country. An aluminium model is offering a part of this moving forward.”
The Whittley AL series will initially offer six aluminium boat, motor, and trailer packages under five and a half metres in size and are attractively priced. The AL Series is available Australia-wide, across popular bow rider, side console, centre console, and open boat configurations. All models are available exclusively via the Whittley Boating Centres across the country, and competitive finance and insurance packages are available from the Whittley Finance and Insurance team. Boat, motor, and trailer packages start at $16990.00 from any Whittley Boating Centre and include local safety equipment and registrations to flagship models under $84,990.00.
“The Whittley family has been associated with the Savage brand in the past and has seen the success of both an aluminium and fibreglass boat brand. Building on the Group’s unique nationwide boat-building and dealership business model, the timing was right to offer an aluminium boat package series with boat models smaller than those built in fibreglass. Our Boating Centre sites nationally want to offer an additional aluminium boat range to complement, but not compete with, our existing fibreglass range and brings a whole new group of consumers into our dealerships to experience the new Whittley boat buying process and how it differs from our competitors,” Mr. Cohen said.
All new Whittley AL series models will be sold on high-quality Dunbier boat trailers powered by market-leading four-stroke outboard brands and feature popular market-leading electronic packages. The range features the direct design input of the Whittley family, with over seventy years of trailer boat knowledge, and is backed by a three-year warranty. The Whittley AL series represents exceptional value for money and includes standard painted hulls, full-length carpeted floors, front and rear rails, and, in some models, a bimini and a canopy envelope.
SIX MODELS – FIVE DIFFERENT CONFIGURATIONS
The Whittley AL Series is a versatile range of Australian-made aluminium boats, comprising six models across five configurations. The Open Tiller Steer models—AL 1150 TS and AL 1280 TS—are ideal for estuary and lake fishing (TS) or more open water conditions (WB). The AL 1480 SC (Side Console) and AL 1740 CC (Centre Console) offer stable fishing platforms, with the latter designed for tougher offshore use. For those seeking multi-use space, the AL 1700 BR Bow Rider suits fishing, cruising, or relaxing. The AL 1450 RA Runabout is popular among anglers and families, featuring a level floor and enclosed transom for added protection.
All models incorporate Whittley’s SL performance hull design, which enhances stability, fuel efficiency, and overall performance thanks to its deeper vee shape.
