The World’s first glow in the dark boat made its official Queensland appearance at the Brisbane Tinnie and Tackle Show at the RNA Showgrounds on March 20 – 22, 2009.

The ‘Glow Boat’ will join an array of watercraft and is a welcome addition to the event which will also display Queensland’s biggest collection of fishing tackle.

The “Glow Boat’ has been in development for over 10 years, (patent pending) and uses Visual Signals photoluminescent crystals. The glow not only makes it safer to be out in at night but is also used to attract fish. The unique manufacturing process used also ensures that the boat maintains its glow throughout its lifespan.

Perry Telios, Head of Sales and Marketing for Visual Signals, the company which is distributing the boats, said the Brisbane Tinnie and Tackle Show was the perfect event to debut the boat to Queenslanders.

“This is the first time ever a glow in the dark boat has been developed and it is a huge coup to have it on display at the Brisbane Tinnie and Tackle Show,” Plant (Brisbane Tinnie and Tackle Show) said.

Made in Australia, the ‘Glow Boat’ weights 50 kilograms and is 2.5 metres long. The boat is also constucted from tough polyethylene (similar to that used in water tanks) which is five times stronger than fibreglass.

The glow not only makes it safer to be out in at night but is also used to attract fish. The unique manufacturing process used also ensures that the boat maintains its glow throughout its lifespan.
