Makocraft HD Dinghy Models and Specifications
The heavy-duty dinghy range, including V-hull long-shaft configurations. The HD Dinghy family sits in the Aluminium & Polyethylene Dinghies. Length alone does not settle the choice: verify complete operating weight, propulsion limits, passenger capacity and storage dimensions before ordering.
| Model | Length | Max power | Persons | Hull weight |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 300 HD Dinghy Rat Pack | 3.00 m | — | — | — |
| 371 HD Dinghy V-hull, long shaft, three-person seating | 3.80 m | 25 hp | 3 | 90 kg |
| 410 HD Dinghy Four-person seating | 4.15 m | 30 hp | 4 | 165 kg |
| 445 Commander HD Open | 4.45 m | — | — | — |
How to Choose a HD Dinghy Model
- Polyethylene is kind to gelcoat, pontoons and painted topsides; bare aluminium is not.
- Pressed hulls are light and cheap; fully welded hulls are heavier and far tougher.
- Check hull weight against how you will actually launch it — a 114 kg punt is a two-person lift.
- Car-topper ratings and maximum HP vary enormously across apparently similar 3.5 m boats.
