Whitepointer 263
Built for the Southern Ocean
The 263 was built to tackle the Southern Ocean. Based on the 243, Erick extended the hull to 26 ft 3 in (8m), added a wider gunwale-top deck, and redesigned the dash.
True 8-Metre Performance
It’s a true 8m boat—no pod or trim tabs needed. It sits low and stable at rest, but gets out of the hole and performs with serious horsepower.
Heavy-Duty Construction
Built from solid fibreglass, the transom features around 40 layers, while the rear vee has been reshaped to support large, high-performance transducers.
Custom Fuel Tanks
The fuel tanks are made from 4mm marine-grade alloy, crafted by a certified tank builder, then wrapped in fibreglass and flowcoated.
