BESTANGLER Vizion 500 is for sale!

Year of manufacture 2022 (boat and engine), Yamaha VF115 V MAX SHO engine – 438 mth, recently serviced. Sold on invoice by a VAT-registered seller – VAT deduction possible (1,149,000 CZK ex VAT).

I am selling my Vizion 500 boat, which I bought in May 2022 and have been continuously upgrading for three years. I now have different plans and would only use the boat for a maximum of a fortnight a year, otherwise it would just be sitting in the garage.

The size and engine make a fantastic combination that can handle practically anything, is economical to run, and if I were to buy a new freshwater boat in the future, I would choose exactly the same configuration again. The boat safely and drily handles large bodies of water and the sea in rougher weather, so you can take it practically anywhere in Europe. I've taken the boat to the Netherlands, Sweden, Norway beyond the Arctic Circle, Italy, and the Czech Republic. Everything is set up so you can launch it yourself. It's great for fishing solo or with 2–3 people; with 4–5 people, fishing is a bit tighter but still comfortable. It is also ideal for a family with children – thanks to the folding bench and table. You can even compete in Europe's biggest boat tournaments, like the Predator Tour, or use it for fishing guiding. The boat is fully equipped and fine-tuned for fishing – with high-quality electronics, practical accessories, and mandatory equipment for both the Czech Republic and the Netherlands. All you have to do is grab your rods and set off.

Boat Equipment

Yamaha VF115LA – V MAX SHO Engine

The engine has 438 operating hours, runs flawlessly, and has been regularly serviced exclusively by an original Yamaha service centre (Avar-Yacht). It has just had a fresh service, with the next one not due for another 100 hours. HYTECH-OBF/1M hydraulic steering, fast stainless steel propeller + spare aluminium one.
The boat's speed in "economy" mode is 50 km/h (4500 RPM, consumption approx. 20 l/h) – giving you a range of up to 250 km on a full tank. At full throttle, the boat does approx. 65–70 km/h (depending on the number of people, load, and conditions), maximum consumption is 45 l/h. With a 100 l petrol tank you can go a really long way; often one tank was enough for a week-long trip. The engine is connected via a Yamaha fuel water separator, ensuring no water gets in. The separator is transparent, so you can always spot any water present.

TIKI BP1500-RBA SE Trailer

Trailer up to 1500 kg with alloy wheels, upgraded from the basic version. The boat is secured by three self-retracting stainless steel Boat Buckle straps. The trailer lights fold outwards, but for launching the boat you don't even need to fold them out – just unbuckle the Boat Buckles and launch. For retrieving the boat it is advisable to fold the lights out, taking about 5 seconds.
On the trailer there is a lockable branded DAKEN battery box with the same battery as the Yamaha engine's starter, allowing them to be swapped in an emergency. The battery powers the electric winch with remote control, making it easy to comfortably launch and retrieve the boat by yourself. A backup manual winch is provided in case of failure or a flat battery. The box features a waterproof connector for quick charging, and the charger is ready inside the box. The battery typically lasts for over a fortnight of launching.
A spare wheel bracket, reinforced structure, and modified light and number plate brackets have been added to the trailer. A tow hitch lock is also included, meaning no one can easily unhitch the trailer from your car.

Sonars and Communication

Garmin Force 80 lb Bow Motor

Comes with a second remote, spare propeller, and a tuning nut that reduces underwater vibrations and allows tool-free propeller removal. The motor is networked with the sonars. It can be wired for 36 V to increase output up to 110 lb, but 80 lb is more than enough and safely holds the boat even in high winds or strong currents.

Electrical System and Power Supply

A Victron Energy LiFePO₄ 25.6 V/200 Ah battery powers the bow motor and sonars + other devices via a 24/12 V converter.
Under heavy use of the GPS anchor in strong winds or long transits on the bow motor, it lasts a whole day; with lighter use up to 3–4 days (we usually recharge daily anyway so as not to limit ourselves).

All chargers connect simply – by plugging a single 25 m cable into the boat's 16 A/250 V AC power socket. Furthermore, there is a hidden, covered 220 V socket under the passenger console, ideal e.g. for the winch battery charger. Individual chargers can be switched off by a button, so you can still recharge on a lower-rated circuit breaker (an advantage at some campsites). The entire electrical installation is professionally, cleanly, and neatly wired – no "nautical madness". Everything is correctly rated and fused; all fuses are labelled, and a red LED lights up if one blows. I also have the wiring diagram for everything and will pass on the details of the electrician who did the entire installation and regularly services it, so he knows the boat very well.
A GPS tracker with backup battery is built into the boat, accessible via a mobile app. You can easily set up movement alerts on it, and the app provides a clear movement history.

Sale Price

After the invoice is paid, you just need to take the trailer for a vehicle check, then we go together to the transport registry to transfer the trailer, and then to the navigation authority to transfer the boat – that's it, realistically it takes 2 working days. The boat, engine, and trailer are serviced and fully ready for use. You can therefore fully enjoy this year's predator season, which is just beginning.
