Senator 500SC
New stock Arrived now -Feb 2026. See “In Stock”
Sample photos show optional upgrades on boats. Our price is for the base package so you can build your boat from there.
The Senator 500 Side Console is a five metre side-console built for Kiwi waters. Alloy buoyancy chambers keep it unsinkable and steady when seas kick up. A two metre beam gives a huge 4.6 square-metre deck. Anglers, divers, and families can move easily without crowding.
Mission Modular rails let you swap seats, storage pods, or the live-bait tank in seconds. Rig up for dawn fishing, then clear space for afternoon ski toys. The 4 mm plate hull runs up to 90 horsepower and planes quickly. Add the optional upgrade 90 litre underfloor tank for longer runs. Standard gear includes U-Dek (nano dot) flooring, rod holders, and a dive ladder.

Why choose a Senator boat?
Guardian chambers run the full length of the hull, sealed and air filled. If seas turn rough, they add lift that keeps the boat upright and steady.
Wide chambers push the floor out to the gunwales, giving you Max Deck space. The rigid plate floor stays solid under coolers, dive tanks, and busy feet.
Mission Modular rails let you swap seats, storage, or the live bait tank in seconds. Fish at dawn, then clear the deck for family towing or beach gear by lunch.
Foam packed into each chamber keeps the boat afloat even if swamped. The same foam soaks up noise for a calm, quiet ride.
