Welcome, Yebo:

1. Rebel series
2. Hybrid series
3. Brilliant bass boats
4. Crackleback series - Escape boating
5. Dragonfly
6. Splash Bass

This is just off the top of my bald head - I'm sure someone else can provide you with further particulars!

Sorry no glasses. Thought it said available not MADE. The US can be excluded. The thunderbird and rebels are made in Zimbabwe

@ bblunt, I was going to say boet....those are not proudly South African....we have some good boat builders here for our poor rands.....I'll expand:

1. Brilliant Bass Boats - Richard Partridge - <a class="postlink" href="http://www.brilliantbass.co.za">www.brilliantbass.co.za</a>
2. Outdoor Marine - Dragon Fly MKIII, Splash Bass & Tug20 Bass - <a class="postlink" href="http://www.outdoormarine.co.za">www.outdoormarine.co.za</a>
3. Escape Boating - Neil Barker - Crackleback range - <a class="postlink" href="http://www.escapeboating.co.za">www.escapeboating.co.za</a>
4. Hybrid - similar to Rebel series - was made up on the reef?
5. Rebel - used to be made by Anre de Villiers in the Cape then sold - now not sure?

Trust this broadens your horizon somewhat FloridaBass.

The Rebel Boats are once again being made in Cape Town by Anre de Villiers.The 531 & 532 have had a substantial face lift and revised deck and livewell layout.The 582 is also having livewell mods done.

Life is not about the number of breaths we make,but the moments that take our breath away.
