In the beginning..., Wanaka Marine developed the "Stabi-jet" using the Mercury 175 Sportjet as its main powerpack.
But the evolution continued... and following on from those initial 4-5 boats, the NEW Wanaka Marine has taken the leap into the new Millennium utilizing a range of engines and hulls.
Why Stabicraft? Reputation!!! They are the best "aluminium pontoon" boat in the world!!
Why Mercury? Might as well put the best with the best!!!
Take a look at a 559 going thru its paces... then ask... "What can Wanaka Marine do for me?"

Features & Benefits
Large 7.25" diameter pump pushes more water through the pump for greater thrust, uperior efficiency, maximum acceleration and ski towing capability.
Rubber-isolated engine mounting system isolates engine vibrations to give you a smooth, comfortable ride and never requires adjustments or alignment.
Unique, multi-step painting process includes chemical treatment, EDP and chrome epoxy primers and abrasion resistant acrylic paint baked to a hard, corrosion-resistant finish.
Stainless steel impeller with variable pitch provides superior propulsive efficiency, performance and durability.
Low maintenance pump requires only annual lubrication maintenance on all pump bearings, no need to disassemble pump parts to change oil.
SmartCraft compatible engine allows for up-to-the-second engine gauge information and gives advanced warning of possible problems.
Automatic bilge siphon system keeps your engine compartment dry whenever the engine is running, even when the electric bilge pump fails to operate.
