This the latest version of my Elotri range, and is designed to be a versatile recreational production craft, for use in sheltered water, small lakes and canals. Dimensioned to fit in a 6m shipping container, construction is modular to easily produce three models off the one base. The basic centre console is for walk around fishing or trolling. This model can be dressed up with teak like decks and extra seat as a tender or water taxi. The lake fishing version provides a cuddy cabin and good protection for the crew, while still having an clear cockpit aft. The picnic version will provide a classic look for a family boat.

Each model is designed with a solar panel to recharge the batteries between weekend use of the boat. For more continuous use shore power can be used to charge up over night.

The cockpit is self draining and one level from the walk through boarding area at the open transom.

The hull for the first Elotri TC 584 is well underway. Expect to see production soon.
