- A smart looking, well-equipped inshore fishing package Horizon has been manufacturing aluminium boats for many years (nearly 25 in fact) and it shows. The 438 Stryker XPF SC Deluxe is nicely finished, well-built, and all the interior features are just the right height, length or width. The Stryker is also a solid performer, achieving a safe, secure, comfortable ride for a small boat, combined with excellent performance.

Wayne Kampe and Scott James take the Horizon 525 Scorpion for a spin and find out that it's a fantastic entry level combo for family boating when coupled with Yamaha's superlative F70 outboard.

This neat 4.38m Horizon Stryker XPF side console rig has a lot going for it. While a team of keen anglers could put the well turned out alloy rig to good use for some serious fishing in bay or estuary, there’s no denying the craft’s tremendous family boating appeal given the generously wide layout, ample interior work room plus a red hot price, at under $21,000 from the dealer’s yard.

Horizon Boats has ticked all the right boxes for fishos wanting an affordable yet versatile fishing cuddy. KRIS SWERES reports.
