Makocraft
Built heavier on purpose
The brand
Makocraft is attractive specifically when the buyer wants stronger tinny construction, a fishing-first layout and better rough-water hull geometry than a simple flat punt. The HD Dinghy range is the headline: a 371 at roughly 3.8 m and 90 kg with a proper V-hull is a different boat from a pressed punt of the same length.
100 percent designed and manufactured in Australia.
Our take
If a standard tinny has already failed you once, this is the range to look at next.

Buyer type
Best Fishing Dinghies 3.5 to 4.2 m
The size where a dinghy stops being a car topper and becomes a proper small fishing boat: three or four aboard, a real outboard, and enough freeboard to be comfortable in a chop on an open estuary..
