Fury 500
A wide, shallow-running aluminium bass boat built in South Africa for serious fishing.
Mod-V Aluminium Bass Boat Designed for Serious Fishing
The Fury 500 is a purpose-built aluminium bass boat designed for stability, deck space, and practical tournament-style fishing. It is built around a wide, stable hull platform with features focused on real bass fishing use rather than cosmetic fit-out.
At 5.0 metres in length with a 2.2 metre beam, the Fury 500 offers one of the largest usable deck areas in its class. The wide beam and reverse chine hull design provide excellent lateral stability when fishing and predictable handling when under power.
The Fury 500 forms part of the Drakōn Boats range of aluminium bass boats designed and built in South Africa. It is supported by a range of purpose-built hardware and components available through our shop.
