Alloy Artwork | Machina Boats

When it comes to turning aluminium into artwork, no-one in the world does it better than the Kiwis. One relatively new outfit making a splash is Machina Boats (pronounced Mack-in-a). The name is Latin and roughly translates to “machine”. The Captain catches up with builders Lee and Brooke Cummings and rides their new Machina 951.

Loving the return of the plumb bow boats. The kiwis really know how to build and put together a decent alloy boat

[@Crabman_87]

Wonder how long until they give the Aussie version a review, Tough Craft SA

[@evolveausevolveaus]

Stealthy lookin beast - perfect for zipping off shore to pick the bricks up

[@darrenadams1978]

Thanks for an impartial review, amazing boat and with those minor amendments you raised, it could very well be the ultimate trailer boat.

[@fletcherglass5160]

Great work fellas. Good to see Kiwi manufacturing of innovative products. I wish you all the best.

[@NIPPYGARAGE]

We own one of these personally, Lee and the team are great and build highest of quality boats. We love ours 🎣 🛥️

[@josephsymonds3432]

Bravo Lee and Machina team. Unreal to see you guys on the Captain! Epic 🤘🏻

[@dougandchelle]

I went to the on the water boat show in Auckland and this was the boat of the show for me...amazing boat and certainly something I would love to own!

[@thebigw3377]

Did anyone else see the love bites on that lamb roast? 😂

[@10rgv]

Outstanding vessel. Couple of handsome mates you’ve got there😉

[@WildTouring]

Those things are next level 😮

[@craybro]

Love the way you do 5 things you like and would change! Most so called ‘boat reviews’ are really just infomercials so can’t be trusted

[@tristanpreece136]

Awesome looking boat. It reminds me of the “bad guy” boats from the movie cars 2 😅

[@fishermen1000]

Best looking boat at the boat show!!

[@ttecsolar2846]

Amazing design. Love it

[@Welder-wt4ib]

Work of art

[@chilliburn1]

Great vid, stunning boat

[@firstlightflicks]

Epic looking boat!

[@george.erandall965]

Amazing beautiful boat🤙

[@adzoutnabout8666]

Seems like miles of headroom in the cockpit and the fishing area deeper than most. Maybe the floors could of been lifted 150 mm and that offset with larger fuel tank / s.

[@Peter-ol7he]

What is it with these Kiwis building such damn good boats?

[@benc7044]

Looks like a good product 👍

[@mrcrankyank]

Stunning boat. NZ is really kicking some arse in the plate boat sector

[@markuswilmes3694]

Kiwis can build tin boats

[@sladestoove763]

Great vid 👍

[@LV-FOURTWENTYSIX]

That is villainous, if i win lotto that will be awesome.

[@Fj4LiFe23]

we need all the aluminum boats in the states

[@nattherat89]

These boats are just sexual!!! But damn the prices 😮‍💨

[@shaneyule3484]

what a beast !

[@tylerberryman24]

Dream boat, what a great boat

[@kennethalcorn7104]

His welding looks good to

[@T-Gobros]

Beauty 👌

[@tomcrook2123]

Finally a vessel that i like as much as the rayglass 2800

[@Michael-gf2er]

Absolute weapon 👍

[@davegiteau6784]

Mean looking rig

[@jenniferstewarts4851]

They talk about quietness, but seriously, that amount of foam... i'm wondering about insulation value. If its got a complete bathtub coverage of foam, with no fluids below the waterline... it would be great for cold water operations... BC coast, alaska... and even parts of Canada... there are ports in Canada that operate year round... and in the case where the water freezes have "bubblers" that keep the ice broken up in harbor. so again fully insulated, you could stay on board even in the cold.

[@GeoffPhillips-go7si]

thats sick

[@rontrabbic8827]

I like the design..I like to see it on lake Eire

[@CarryFishing]

I’d suggest 700 litres is very light on for that rig, weapon though. What does it weigh?

[@machinaboats]

Arkhos is 4100kg dry, no trailer.

[@BullyHayes1977]

id love to know how 'internal pontoons' or 'buoyancy chambers' in layman's terms, contribute to form stability...

[@EFDArt]

Rocky is the star of the show

[@rollinrock6696]

Quality

[@captainron7904]

Black boat really looks cool but man in the summer can you even touch the sides that’s why I would never own a black car to hot.

[@GregLay-gf5ud]

No head ( toilet ), cmon on a 9mtr boat ,room for improvement there ????

[@machinaboats]

It has a full-size shower/toilet cubicle opposite the helm, it’s just been missed in this review.

[@GregLay-gf5ud]

@@machinaboats unfortunate down side of the review , any husband & wife combo would of been appropriative of this

[@jc6832]

visibility is shit though I can see when underway at speed

[@Maddfisher]

Not bad for an alloy tin can

[@dota2lol942]

Around $400k would buy it or no?

[@keriboi]

And the rest

[@Shrouded_reaper]

Build your own for a fraction of that if you are willing to learn some skills...

[@robhill9338]

Honestly always thought these where Chinese built boats

[@BullyHayes1977]

foam filling is nice to reduce noise etc , but christ, you'd be praying for no future metal repairs required in those areas....

[@dirtyrb26det]

I've been out a couple times in one of the 8m options. Unfortunately the theorem isn't supported by reality. Yes they look great but it handles like crap. Heaps of splash over the bow, rides terribly.....I'd describe the feeling as tubbing/slapping, even in mild chop. For the coin, personally I expected a lot more. Naturally just my opinion, but its an honest take rather than the bias you'd receive if you were to ask the builder. If you plan on spending a half million, I'd take your money else where

[@michaelcampbell4990]

Exactly what I would think just from looking at the hull shape. Was wondering if all the rave reviews were from people who actually know their boats, or from people who just love how they look. Thanks for your opinion.

[@factordotcom]

Shot Lee got to be the meanest machine out there
