The Aquastar name has always been associated with robustly built craft capable of dealing with what Mother Nature will throw at us. The 19 is no exception and was originally introduced as a commercial fishing boat providing a stable working platform for potting or netting in the Channel Islands.
This is a good example and still offers the recreational angler the same stability and assurance that if the weather turns snotty, you will be okay.
