Who this boat is for

For two spin anglers who care about casting room rather than seat count. For lakes, lagoons and wider rivers, where you need to move fast and then fish standing all day.

The Kimple Sniper 468 is a true bass boat: a low profile, a flat bow casting deck and a 2.00 m beam that lets you stand anywhere on board. The 4.68 m hull is fully welded, not riveted. The factory already fits a 90 l livewell with a circulation pump, carpeted aluminium flooring with a recessed trolling motor pedal tray and an SJ console with a USB socket. Unlike the larger models, the fuel tank is not built in – the stern has a prepared space for a portable tank and two batteries.

About the photos

The photos show the boat with optional equipment: engine, trolling motor and fish finder. The standard package at €12 900 is the hull with the factory equipment listed above – engine and trailer are not included. We quote the full package within one working day.

Colours

The manufacturer offers five recommended hull colours – black, white, red, green and yellow. You choose the colour when ordering. The plate allows two persons: instead of a third seat you get a continuous casting deck and a 2.00 m beam, so two anglers can stand at opposite ends. If you need a third seat, look at the Kimple H166.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about the Kimple Sniper 468

Answers to the questions buyers ask most often. Not here? Call us.

How much does the Kimple Sniper 468 cost?

The standard Sniper 468 costs €12 900 incl. VAT. The engine, trailer and optional equipment are not included; we quote the complete package for your needs.

What engine does the Sniper 468 need?

The maximum power allowed by the manufacturer is 60 HP. In practice 40–60 HP is usual: that is enough to get a 380 kg hull with equipment and two anglers on plane quickly.

Does it have to be registered and is a licence needed?

Yes. In Lithuania only recreational craft with an engine up to 19 kW (25 HP) are exempt. With a 40–60 HP engine the Sniper 468 is registered with the Lithuanian Transport Safety Administration and the driver needs a boat licence. We help with the paperwork; rules differ in other countries.

How many people fit?

The manufacturer's plate allows 2 persons. It is a bass boat, where a continuous casting deck takes the place of a third seat.

Is there a built-in fuel tank?

No. The Sniper 468 has a prepared space at the stern for a portable tank and two batteries. A built-in 70 l tank is fitted to the larger models, such as the H166.

Which trailer fits?

For the 4.68 m length the Brentex 500B (up to 4.8 m) or the Respo 511L191 (up to 5.1 m) fits. As the hull weighs 380 kg and the engine, batteries and equipment add a lot, we pick the exact trailer for your configuration.

Can it be carried on a car roof?

No. A 380 kg hull travels on a trailer only.

What aluminium is it made of?

Bottom and sides 2.5 mm, transom 3.0 mm. The hull is fully welded, not riveted.

Do the photos show the standard package?

No. The photos show the boat with optional equipment – engine, trolling motor and fish finder.

What warranty is given and can it be bought in instalments?

The manufacturer's hull warranty is 1 (one) year; we handle all obligations locally, in Kaunas or the Mažeikiai district. The boat and equipment can be bought in instalments through leasing partners.

How does the Sniper 468 differ from the H166?

The Sniper 468 is 31 cm shorter and 18 cm narrower, 50 kg lighter, made for two people and allows up to 60 HP. The H166 seats three, allows up to 90 HP and has a built-in 70 l fuel tank. The Sniper is a pure two-person bass boat; the H166 is the more versatile boat.
