2001 6.85 Metre Allenco

• Allenco 6.85m – Last Boat Overseen by Allen Pepper | Premium Offshore Fishing & Dive Rig

A rare opportunity to secure a unique piece of Kiwi boating history. This 2001 Allenco 6.85m was the final vessel with plans approved by renowned builder Allen Pepper of Matamata Aluminium, combining proven craftsmanship with a design focused on real-world fishing and diving performance. The layout and configuration were also designed by Tony Wong Kam with a strong focus on practical offshore fishing and diving capability.

Purpose-built for serious offshore use, this is a boat that prioritises capability, safety, and function.

Key Features:

• Length: 6.85m
• Hull: 6mm bottom / 5mm topsides / 4mm hardtop
• Built to survey standard (privately used only)
• Self-draining decks with built-in buoyancy
• 400L fuel capacity – extended range
• Large live bait tank
• 8x dive tank storage (also doubles as live fish tank)
• Heavy-duty engine bracket
• Suits twin 200hp or single 400hp
• Motor-ready
• Distinct polished scale finish
• Why This Boat Stands Out: This is not a production-line alloy boat. It represents a level of build quality rarely seen today.
• Built to higher structural standards than most
• Designed for serious offshore conditions
• Self-draining deck adds major safety advantage
• Layout driven by real fishing/diving use
• Increasingly rare, especially with Allen Pepper association

Unpowered and ready to be set up exactly how the next owner wants.

Condition:

• Well-kept hull
• Built to survey spec (MSA registered)
• Private use only
• Ready-to-rig offshore platform

Summary: For buyers who understand quality, this is more than just a 6.85m alloy boat. It’s a purpose-built offshore platform with heritage, capability, and rarity.

Comparable modern builds with this level of strength and spec would cost significantly more today.
