Finnish boat builder Buster Boats, which uses Yamaha outboards on all its models, is extending its popular Buster S range of aluminium boats with the launch of the Buster S2 for the 2023 boating season.

The fourth model in the range, the Buster S2 is a multipurpose aluminium boat designed for four people, equipped with double consoles and a solid door in the middle which offer ample protection and space.

With its carefully designed hull, the Buster S2 is stable but agile, easy to handle and quick to get up to speed thanks to its Yamaha engine. The windshield is lined with stainless steel railings, providing support when moving around the boat or when standing behind the console. The railings also serve as a place to attach accessories.

Safe access and spacious storage

As with all Buster models, a lot of attention has been paid to safe access. The wide step in the bow and the platforms at the stern make the Buster S2 easy to board, while the stepping surfaces are covered with anti-slip patterned aluminium and the floor material is a durable, waterproof and rot-proof composite that provides a solid footing.

"The new model version has been requested especially by boaters who use their Buster S for slightly longer distances. The double console and solid door improve comfort and protect the aft seat from rain and splashes, making longer trips even more pleasant," says Johan Finnberg, Marketing Manager.

Uncluttered storage space can be found beneath the front seat, and there's additional lockable storage under the aft seat. The navigator's console also has a covered glovebox, ideal for storing phones and wallets.

Outstanding engine features

The Buster S2 is optimised for use with the Yamaha 30hp outboard with electronic multi-point fuel injection. The PrimeStart system and the Wide Range Power Trim & Tilt system makes it easy to start and to use. The engine also features Shallow Water Drive for cruising close inshore, and the Variable Trolling RPM is a particularly useful feature for fishing enthusiasts when operating at low speeds.

Trailable and easy to handle

With the hull weighing just 275kg, the total weight of the Buster S2 with engine and propeller is 373kg. This low weight makes the boat easy to trailer and handle on the shore, while the sturdy aluminium structure makes the boat effortless to use on the water too.

A simple to raise and lower aft canvas top is available as an optional accessory on the Buster S2, with the front of the canvas top also acting as rain or sun protection when the back is open.

Standard equipment on the Buster S2 includes side and aft rails, an automatic bilge pump and power outlet. Other optional accessories, in addition to the aft canvas top, include a cushion set, bow rail, bow engine bracket, and a bow casting deck with fishing seat. The bow of the boat can also be equipped with a convenient seat-stowage box.

One hull, four models

The Buster S range also includes a traditional open model driven from the aft seat, the single side console Buster S1 model, and a centre console SCC model. All four Buster S models share the same 4.43m by 1.82m hull, with the width of the hull used to the maximise functional space, but the new Buster S2 offers the most protection and without sacrificing deck space in front of the consoles.

Buster Boats' full range of aluminium boats comprises 24 models. The smallest is the Buster Mini at just under four metres and less than 100kg, and the largest is the Buster Phantom Cabin, almost ten metres long with a capacity for 12 people. All Buster's boats have aluminium construction.
