The Buccaneer brand, which has been around since 1976 (having built over 6,300 boats), would likely have New Zealand’s largest selection of GRP boat models, offering 22 models across 5 ranges. The hardtop range alone offers 8 different models in the Exess, Billfisher, El Dorado, and the new HT range. The newest additions to the HT series are the Buccaneer Six Fifteen HT and this reviewed model, the Buccaneer Five Seven Five HT, which has been designed with functionality, weight, and trailer manoeuvrability at the top of their wish list. Designer Gerry Gerrand aimed to keep the boat and motor package sitting on a single-axle trailer, enabling the (1620 kgs) rig to be towed behind an average-sized car and easily stored, which is significant for those with today's smaller sections who still want a hardtop option. These two new models now fill the gap in the Buccaneer hardtop range.
