Mad Tinny!

Fisho first noticed the Mad Dog brand at this year’s Sydney International Boat Show. Lakeside Marine, the Australian distributor for Tohatsu, was showing off this latest Mad Dog centre console on its stand.

Mad Dog is based in rural Victoria along the Murray River and produces a range of quality small to medium alloy boats by hand in its factory. The company makes tinnies from smaller car toppers to these larger centre and side consoles. The Brute tested here comes in 429, 461, 489 and 519 sizes.
