New Buster L: four different versions, endless usages

Buster is renewing the Nordic region’s most popular motorboat. The new, fourth-generation Buster L will make its debut at the Uiva Flytande In-Water Boat Show in Helsinki on 13–16 August.

The versatile Buster L has been part of the aluminium boat manufacturer’s model range since 1994. Its dimensions and features immediately proved well suited to the needs of Nordic boaters, people spending time at their holiday homes and recreational anglers, and the model quickly became particularly popular in Finland, Sweden and Norway..

The new Buster L will be available in four different versions, designed for different users and different purposes. The basic Buster L1 has a single side-mounted console, while the Buster Lcc features a centre console. The Buster L2 is a dual-console version offering good protection for passengers on the aft bench, while the Buster Lx comes with separate seats for the driver and passenger and provides seating for five people behind the protection of the windscreens.

Unlike the other versions, the Buster Lx has a fixed 53-litre fuel tank. A similar fixed tank is also available as a factory-installed option for the other models.

The new Buster L is 5.12 metres long and 1.95 metres wide. Compared with the previous, third-generation Buster L, the maximum hull length is one centimetre shorter, and the boat is four centimetres narrower, but thanks to the new design the interior dimensions are more generous than before. All versions are self-draining for rainwater, so they can be left at the dock without concern.

The heavier Buster Lx has a maximum engine power of 60 hp, while the maximum for the other models is 50 hp. Top speed with the maximum engine power is approximately 28 knots

Available options include Softdeck flooring, a harbour cover, a water-ski and equipment arch at the stern, a rod box, rod holders and seat cushions. The Buster Q smart display can be expanded with sonar, a Fishfinder fishing sonar and the Guard package, which makes it possible to monitor, among other things, the boat’s location, bilge and battery voltage through the Buster App on your own mobile device.

The optional Comfort Edition package includes seat cushions for the single-console models. On the dual-console models, it also includes a practical canopy covering the aft section of the boat.
