The business sells aluminium boats, inflatable boats with aluminium floors, outboard motors, electric motors, boat trailers and power generators. On top of that, it has its own workshop for engines and trailers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For anglers, that means you get boat, propulsion and trailer from a single source \u2013 and someone who will service the whole lot later on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>\u2714\ufe0f Aluminium boats from Motocraft, Marine, Finval and Scandica<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u2714\ufe0f Honwave inflatable boats with slatted floor, air floor or aluminium floor<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u2714\ufe0f Yamaha and Honda outboards, plus electric motors<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u2714\ufe0f Pega boat trailers, braked and unbraked<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u2714\ufe0f Workshop: servicing and repairs for outboards and trailers<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"margin:30px 0; padding:22px 24px; border:1px solid #D10F1B; border-left:6px solid #D10F1B; background:#F5F5F5; border-radius:14px; box-shadow:0 8px 24px rgba(0,0,0,0.06);\">\n  \n  <div style=\"display:flex; align-items:center; gap:12px; margin-bottom:12px;\">\n    <span style=\"display:inline-flex; align-items:center; justify-content:center; width:36px; height:36px; border-radius:999px; background:#ffffff; border:1px solid #D10F1B; font-size:18px;\">\n      \u26a0\ufe0f\n    <\/span>\n    <div style=\"font-size:20px; font-weight:700; color:#D10F1B; line-height:1.2;\">\n      Former exhibitor\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n\n  <p style=\"margin:0 0 12px 0; font-size:16px; line-height:1.65; color:#1f2937;\">\n    The exhibitor featured in this article is currently \n    <strong>not exhibiting at Carp Austria<\/strong>.\n  <\/p>\n\n  <p style=\"margin:0 0 18px 0; font-size:15px; line-height:1.65; color:#374151;\">\n    \ud83d\udc49 Discover all currently confirmed exhibitors here and find suitable alternatives.\n  <\/p>\n\n  <a href=\"https:\/\/carp-austria.com\/en\/exhibitors\/\" style=\"display:inline-block; padding:13px 20px; background:#E30613; color:#ffffff; text-decoration:none; font-weight:700; font-size:15px; border-radius:5px; transition:all 0.2s ease;\" onmouseover=\"this.style.background='#B80510'\" onmouseout=\"this.style.background='#E30613'\">\n     \n     \ud83d\udd0e Explore current exhibitors\n  <\/a>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Aluminium fishing boats: why aluminium?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1080\" height=\"463\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"Angler fishing from an aluminium fishing boat on calm water\" class=\"wp-image-60530 lazyload\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" data-src=\"https:\/\/carp-austria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/mitmasser-aluboot_fischen-1080x463.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/carp-austria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/mitmasser-aluboot_fischen-1080x463.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/carp-austria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/mitmasser-aluboot_fischen-360x154.jpg 360w, https:\/\/carp-austria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/mitmasser-aluboot_fischen-768x329.jpg 768w, https:\/\/carp-austria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/mitmasser-aluboot_fischen.jpg 1400w\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An aluminium boat is a boat with a hull made of aluminium. It\u2019s light but still sturdy. That\u2019s exactly what makes it so practical for fishing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mitmasser sums it up: thanks to their good strength-to-weight ratio, aluminium boats get going well even with low-powered engines. Two people can carry the smaller models to the water\u2019s edge and launch them by themselves. No launching crane, no big ramp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The range includes aluminium boats from <strong>Motocraft<\/strong>, <strong>Marine<\/strong>, <strong>Finval<\/strong> and <strong>Scandica<\/strong>. According to the shop, Marine has separate lines for fishing, family, work and lightweight boats. Which length and which model suits your water is best worked out in a consultation in Walding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Aluminium boat or inflatable \u2013 which one suits you?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Almost everyone buying their first fishing boat asks this question. The short answer: the aluminium boat is tougher and more stable to fish from. The inflatable is easier to transport and store.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Boat type<\/th><th>Strengths<\/th><th>Typical use<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Aluminium boat<\/td><td>light, tough, low maintenance, fast even with a small engine<\/td><td>rivers, reservoirs, predator fishing, trolling<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Inflatable with aluminium floor<\/td><td>high payload, hard to tip, room for several people<\/td><td>carp fishing, baiting up, playing fish from the boat<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Inflatable with air or slatted floor<\/td><td>small pack size, fits in the car<\/td><td>small lakes, waters without a slipway<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mitmasser\u2019s inflatable boats come from <strong>Honwave<\/strong> and are available with a slatted floor, high-pressure air floor or aluminium floor. You can row both boat types or run them with a petrol or electric motor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"450\" height=\"250\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"Outboard motors for fishing boats in a row\" class=\"wp-image-60541 lazyload\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" data-src=\"https:\/\/carp-austria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/bootsmotoren_450_1.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/carp-austria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/bootsmotoren_450_1.jpg 450w, https:\/\/carp-austria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/bootsmotoren_450_1-360x200.jpg 360w\"><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"450\" height=\"250\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"Aluminium boat for predator anglers with an outboard motor on the water\" class=\"wp-image-60563 lazyload\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" data-src=\"https:\/\/carp-austria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/raubfischboot_450_3.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/carp-austria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/raubfischboot_450_3.jpg 450w, https:\/\/carp-austria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/raubfischboot_450_3-360x200.jpg 360w\"><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"450\" height=\"250\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"Mitmasser aluminium fishing boats side by side\" class=\"wp-image-60552 lazyload\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" data-src=\"https:\/\/carp-austria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/mitmasser-fischerboote_450_2.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/carp-austria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/mitmasser-fischerboote_450_2.jpg 450w, https:\/\/carp-austria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/mitmasser-fischerboote_450_2-360x200.jpg 360w\"><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Outboard or electric motor: which propulsion for your fishing boat?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mitmasser stocks four-stroke outboards from <strong>Yamaha<\/strong> and <strong>Honda<\/strong> and is a service partner for both brands. The Honda engines use the Honda BLAST system for strong acceleration. Yamaha relies on dependable four-strokes that are easy to operate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For many anglers, though, the electric motor is the bigger question. On many Austrian lakes, combustion engines are banned or only allowed with a permit. There, your only options are an electric motor \u2013 or oars. Before you buy, check the rules of your water and your fishing licence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Petrol outboard<\/strong> \u2013 for the Danube, large reservoirs and long distances<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Electric motor<\/strong> \u2013 quiet, for lakes with a combustion engine ban and for slowly approaching your spots<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Oars<\/strong> \u2013 for small waters and as a backup you should always have on board<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you fish from a boat for pike, zander or catfish, you\u2019ll find more on tech and boats on the page <a href=\"https:\/\/carp-austria.com\/en\/predator-tackle\/\">predator fishing: exhibitors, boats and tech<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Boat trailers and power generators<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No trailer, no switching waters. Mitmasser sells <strong>Pega<\/strong> boat trailers, braked and unbraked. Which trailer fits depends on the boat\u2019s weight and length and on your tow bar. The team will advise you and has models to look at on site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are also <strong>Honda power generators<\/strong> in several designs, including inverter generators. For long sessions at the water, when camping or in the boathouse, a quiet generator like this comes in handy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Servicing and repairs in Walding<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An outboard that packs up at the water costs you your fishing day. Mitmasser services and repairs outboard motors and trailers in its own workshop. As a Yamaha and Honda Marine service partner, the business has spare parts and accessories for both brands. According to the shop, service packages are also available for engines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video height=\"640\" style=\"aspect-ratio: 360 \/ 640;\" width=\"360\" controls src=\"https:\/\/carp-austria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/mitmasser-aluboote-ausstellung.mp4\"><\/video><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Checklist: how to find the right fishing boat<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before you buy a boat, answer these questions for yourself. That keeps the consultation short \u2013 and the boat will fit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Water:<\/strong> Danube, reservoir, gravel pit or small pond? Current and waves call for more length and freeboard.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Engine rules:<\/strong> Is a combustion engine allowed, or only an electric motor? That decides your whole propulsion set-up.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Payload:<\/strong> How many people, how much tackle? For carp fishing, add bait, landing net and unhooking mat.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Transport:<\/strong> Trailer, car roof or inside the car? That decides between an aluminium boat and an inflatable.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Storage:<\/strong> Do you have space in a garage or boathouse \u2013 or does the boat need to pack down small?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Service:<\/strong> Who services the engine? A dealer with its own workshop nearby can save you weeks when it really matters.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Around Walding, the Danube with its impounded stretches and backwaters is right on your doorstep. For waters like these, a stable aluminium boat with an outboard is the classic choice. If you fish small lakes with an engine ban, an inflatable with an electric motor is usually the better option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where can you get Mitmasser boats?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hannes Mitmasser e.U. is based at P\u00f6sting 14, 4111 Walding, Upper Austria. You can see boats, engines and trailers right there in the shop. It\u2019s open Monday to Friday, on Fridays in the morning only \u2013 and on Saturday mornings on request.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Phone: <a href=\"tel:+43723482807\">+43 7234 82807<\/a><br>Email: <a href=\"mailto:office@mitmasser.com\">office@mitmasser.com<\/a><br>Website: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mitmasser.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">www.mitmasser.com<\/a> \u00b7 Online shop: <a href=\"https:\/\/shop.mitmasser.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">shop.mitmasser.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Compare fishing boats, bait boats and fish finders at Carp Austria<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mitmasser is currently not exhibiting at Carp Austria.
