Local Spotlight: Valhalla V-37
Perfect for Australian waters, the Valhalla V-37 is now available for enthusiast fishers wanting to explore diverse regions
A fisher's dream
Game & Leisure Boats has announced the arrival of the first Valhalla Boatworks vessel in Australia. Perfect as a versatile coastal or offshore fishing boat with a variety of power options, the V-37 is a centre console sport fisher. Depending on the owner’s preferred use of the boat, the region they will be fishing in and the targeted species, the V-37 offers owners customisation to suit their needs, without compromising ease of operation and comfort onboard.
Valhalla Boatworks Sales Professional, Sean Healey, said the options are all decided with the customer in mind, and there are plenty for customers to choose from. “Not only are we providing the best center console out there, owners are getting the best equipment, hardware and features for a unique Valhalla experience,” Healey said.
Owners can choose a joystick helm control featuring GPS station-keeping with any engine option they choose, and the V-37 has additionally been designed for a Seakeeper SK 3, which is mounted in the stringer grid and accessed through a gasketed and tightly sealed deck hatch. This helps eliminate up to 95 per cent roll on boats of this size, allowing for a much more comfortable ride.
The V-37 is equipped with lockers, compartments and hardware that cater to the much-needed storage solutions many owners require, while also maintaining the vessel’s 360-degree accessibility — the standard option lounge integrated into the forward console has a cooler and dry storage, while the GG Schmitt transom seating can be flipped up and out of the way when fishing. Optional add-ons include an aft mezzanine seating plan with armrests, tackle storage as well as an insulated cooler under the seat, for both practical and relaxed fishing while at sea.
Owners will also enjoy the 112L transom live well and five overboard-draining in-deck fishing boxes ranging in size. Other options include an additional live well in the cockpit deck, a dark blue live well interior to sustain bait life, 12V electric reel outlets and live well inlet/discharge fittings in the transom corners. Not only that, the fibreglass hardtop also has optional add-ons and accessories, like a six-rod rocket launcher, moulded in electronics and radar pods as well as Lumitec streader lights. A variety of Costa Marine entire boat, engine and individual area covers are also available.
The V-37 will be found exclusively at Game & Leisure Boats on the Gold Coast, with factory build times at 2.5 years.
