LOWRANCE SOUTH AFRICA Issue 27 | Page 22

DEALERnews This month we focus on our new Lowrance SA dealer, CarryCat Marine – which boasts two factories in South Africa, one in Jeffreys Bay (servicing Eastern Cape, and all other provinces) and another in Strand just outside Cape Town (servicing Western Cape mostly). This successful boat manufacturing business was started eight years ago by Dawie and Adri Scholtz, whose passion for building better boats is clearly evident. Since the birth of the very first CarryCat in 2011, the brand has constantly developed and improved, and their models have grown in popularity and affordability. Their very busy production and sales crew has the support of Lowrance SA as well as other well-known brands – and the company is not only making its mark locally, but they’ve even started exporting boats to Mozambique and Florida, USA! Dawie says, “We take the utmost care and precision to produce boats that are light and durable in order to use smaller motors – which in turn converts to less fuel consumption so anglers can spend more time out on the water fishing. Our materials are dependable, and we incorporate all the latest design elements to ensure 100% satisfaction with the final product. And our design and laminate team, has over 100 years combined experience, so you know you’re in the right place when it comes to boats.”
