Polycraft 3.00 Tuffy Tuff Tender Our Pack 2 – Yamaha F6 Four Stroke
Product Overview
The Polycraft 3.00 Tuffy Tuff Tender Our Pack 2 with Yamaha F6 Four Stroke is the perfect compact tender or small utility boat for both leisure and light commercial use. Built tough, stable, and virtually maintenance-free, it’s the ideal solution for boat owners, marina operators, and recreational users seeking a reliable tender or small craft for inshore waters.
Made using Polycraft’s dual-skin polyethylene construction, the Tuffy offers unbeatable impact resistance and buoyancy compared to conventional fiberglass or aluminum hulls. Paired with the efficient Yamaha F6 Four-Stroke Outboard, it delivers whisper-quiet performance, low fuel consumption, and the confidence that comes with Yamaha’s global reputation for reliability.
Whether you’re heading from ship to shore, exploring rivers, or fishing on quiet lakes, this package delivers the perfect mix of portability, durability, and performance.
How It Works
The Polycraft 3.00 Tuffy is rotationally moulded from marine-grade polyethylene, producing a double-skin hull that’s light yet extremely tough. The air-filled cavity provides natural flotation and absorbs vibration for a smoother, quieter ride.
The Yamaha F6 Four-Stroke is a single-cylinder, 139cc portable outboard that uses an overhead-valve (OHV) design and splash lubrication to ensure reliable performance. Manual start and tiller control make it simple and efficient to operate. The engine’s compact size allows easy transport and mounting, while its clean-burning four-stroke design minimizes emissions and maintenance requirements.
Benefits and Advantages
-
Unmatched Durability: Polyethylene hull resists dents, cracks, and UV degradation better than aluminium or fiberglass.
-
Ultra-Stable Platform: Flat-bottom design and wide beam provide excellent stability for loading or standing.
-
Lightweight and Portable: Easy to handle, launch, and transport—even by one person.
-
Fuel-Efficient Yamaha Power: Four-stroke efficiency means more time on the water and less fuel cost.
-
Low Maintenance: Simply rinse after use; no need for polishing or painting.
-
Quiet and Comfortable: Dual-skin construction reduces vibration and noise.
-
Environmentally Responsible: Yamaha’s four-stroke technology produces fewer emissions and minimal water pollution.
Safety and Responsible Use
The Tuffy Tender includes built-in buoyancy, non-slip deck surfaces, and stable hull geometry. Always operate within recommended load limits, ensure proper balance when boarding, and wear approved lifejackets. Yamaha’s safety lanyard and fuel-shutoff features provide additional protection for users.
Longevity and Maintenance Tips
To maintain long-term reliability:
-
Rinse the hull and outboard with fresh water after saltwater use.
-
Store under cover to prevent UV damage.
-
Change engine oil every 50–100 hours or once per year.
-
Keep the fuel system clean and use Yamaha fuel stabilizer.
-
Inspect propeller and anodes periodically.
-
Keep electrical connections dry and corrosion-free.
