The LeisureCat 8000 can be enclosed for the protection of crew in all weather conditions (see some of the photos). It is also available as Walkaround model (see Westerner photos of Port Hedland Port Authority craft).

or back to give plenty of fresh air flow. The seating is moulded into the superstructure
giving increased storage and allows for the installation of an optional galley that includes a
2-burner stove, sink and 12v fridge.

The hardtop is fitted with an internal liner of gloss gelcoat finish giving a very smart
appearance. It includes a moulded console for radio and CD player.

On the comfort side, there is a double berth cabin with standing room for dressing and an electric toilet.

Other standard fittings include bolsters along inside of gunwales, 120 litre freshwater tank, freshwater transom shower, saltwater deck wash, electric anchor winch, marlin board
extension with stainless dive ladder, and much, much more.

Optimus 360 by SeaStar uses state-of-the-art electronics to provide easy 360-degree maneuvering capabilities when docking, negotiating crowded areas or loading a vessel onto a trailer. Even novice boaters using the Optimus 360 Joystick Docking Control System can confidently move the boat forward, backwards, diagonally, rotate it on its own axis, or even move sideways to accomplish tricky docking maneuvers. As the operator easily moves the joystick, the Smart Cylinders respond instantly to independently steer each outboard, engage forward/neutral/reverse gears and apply throttle as needed to move the boat exactly where the operator wants it to go.

Optimus 360 is the culmination of three advanced subsystems which are interconnected and synchronized to provide outstanding steering and intuitive joystick docking control.
