The Evolution 500 Axis has been designed for the fisherman who loves to fish anywhere. Based on the 500 Cuddy hull and the 552 Axis, the 500 Axis has the traditional features of an Evolution – stability, beam, and functionality. With the Evolution standard of maximizing storage room, the transom features twin live bait tanks, off-floor battery storage, and storage lockers everything has its place.
At the helm, the skipper and passenger are treated to fully upholstered bucket seats and a comfortable driving position when seated or standing. The dash layout easily accommodates all the required marine electronics and engine gauges while a fully-molded windscreen and color-matched canvas bimini cover offer skipper and passenger protection and comfort.
The flagship feature onboard the 500 Cuddy is the surprisingly spacious forward cabin with ample room to sit upright on the padded V-berth cushions. For added comfort, optional bunk in-fills create more space to rest in between fishing sessions. Access to the bow is through a side-opening hatch with the Evolution design team also making provision for an optional stress-free winch in the anchor well.
The foundation of the 500 Axis is Evolution’s signature deep-V, hand-laid fibreglass hull that delivers the trademark smooth performance in rough weather. A huge 2.25m beam gives the 500 Axis plenty of stability at rest while a wide reverse chine hull design delivers instant cornering and maneuverability with the assurance of a dry ride. This generous beam width opens up a remarkable amount of onboard space allowing maximum fishing room in the cockpit.
The bow features 2 storage lockers. It also has the provisions for an electric motor mounted on the bow. The centre console provides plenty of room for the sounders, gauges, and control panels and enough room for protection behind the windscreen. Under the console, there is more storage room for Esky’s jackets, fish boxes, and batteries for the electric motor. Full-length rod holders in the side pockets allow for the most valuable of tools to be easily accessed when landing your prize catch.
