As pioneers of unrivaled craftsmanship and innovative design, Evolution Boats is delighted to share our latest creation – the 552 Platinum. With a rich heritage steeped in fibreglass construction, our boats promise an impressive ride, remarkable stability, and excellent value for money. In this blog, we explore the unique features that make the 552 Platinum the ultimate dream boat for every angler.
A Fresh Take on a Classic Design
The 552 Platinum Evolution is an upgrade from our acclaimed 550 model. Crafted with a completely new hull, the 552 Platinum is available in three trim levels, including the Silver class, which brings a comprehensive suite of features without compromising its entry-level affordability.
Superior Comfort and Usability
The 552X Silver comes equipped with two underfloor storage areas, an adjustable seating arrangement, a full-sized grab rail above the four-piece windscreen, and hydraulic steering linked to the 150 Mercury at the stern. The height-adjustable bucket skipper’s seat provides both comfort and practicality, whether you’re standing or seated.
Innovations for the Modern Angler
The 552 Platinum’s instrument layout is a blend of modernity and convenience. The 7” Mercury Vessel View unit displays a clear, bold, digital array of engine management details, complete with an efficient touch screen. It’s also designed to interface with Simrad or Lowrance sounder/GPS units, meaning you can easily integrate your essential navigational equipment.
Designed for Offshore Adventures
The 552 Platinum Evolution is not just a boat, but an offshore fishing machine. With its 800mm high cockpit sides, full-length side pockets for gear storage, an optional 3-person, drop-down padded seat, and a full-height locking transom door, it’s clear this vessel was designed with the fishing enthusiast in mind.
Remarkable Stability and Performance
One standout feature of the 552 Platinum is its incredible stability, a product of its wide hull and deep vee design. Combined with reversed chines, under hull strakes, and a weight of approximately 820kg, the 552 Platinum offers an exceptionally smooth ride, even in demanding offshore conditions.
The 552 Platinum also boasts impressive speed and efficiency, planing smoothly at 20.1km/h at 2650rpm and reaching 74.4km/h at maximum power. Powered by a 4-stroke Mercury 3L 150 engine, the 552 Platinum offers both power and reliability, no matter how far offshore your adventures take you.
Value for Money
Despite its extensive feature set, the 552 Platinum maintains exceptional value for money. With prices starting from $69,517, you can take home a vessel that offers superior performance, innovative features, and unparalleled comfort.
With Evolution Boats, quality and affordability go hand in hand. As a testament to our confidence in our craft, we offer a seven-year structural hull warranty, ensuring you can navigate the waters with peace of mind.
