Haines Signature - Perfection in Design and Construction

The Haines Signature is the premier recreational fibreglass boat brand in the world, and the Signature 675F, the flagship product of the group, has just been announced by Modern Boating Magazine as the 2008 Modern Boating Fishing Boat of the Year.

The Haines group started off in the 1960s as a family business, and are not to be confused with rivals Haines Hunter that stared off under the same family but are now a totally separate company with no involvement with the Haines family for over 28 years.

The Haines Signature is a fabulous boat, and once you are in it you get that irresistible desire to open up the throttle and let it rip. The responsiveness is sublime and it obeys the helm perfectly. This is a brand that can never be confused as being anything but what it is: the best boat of its kind you will find anywhere. You have a choice of models with the 674F right at the top of the tree.

Haines Signature Design

So why was it voted the best against a host of other top class boats? Well, for starters there are its brand new CAD design technique and its revolutionary RIVALE molding process. That is short for Resin Injection Vacuum Assist Low Emissions, and allows the total precision in molding to allow as near perfect reproduction of the design in manufacture as possible using today's technology.

What that means to the buyer is that the balance is as perfect as you can get, and the hull handles both as a fantastic recreational family cruiser and a serious fishing vessel. This boat is typical of the effort Haines put into their boats, and the top selling boat, the 493F is no different. The new 493F has undergone a revamp with a new deck, conforming it to the general look of Haines 2008 boats.

With a centerline of just under 5m and a maximum beam of just over 2m, this boat has a new layout to the dash and a deeper cockpit, providing a higher degree of safety, but also a graceful line that promises speed and power with a max 90 hp. It is a real fishing vessel, with a good selection of angling accessories, but the interior has been designed also for use as a family cruiser with overnight accommodation for two people.

Haines Signature Models

These are just two examples of models, and their new 5 metre boat, the 543F is a bigger fishing boat, with more walk-round deck space and room for more accessories as would be expected in a boat of this size. Haines boats in general are well built and very well designed, and Haines boat sales are booming. If you want to buy boats, then Haines Signature is a good place to start, and if the prices frighten you, then you can find used Haines boats available at excellent prices.

In fact many used Haines Signature boats are widely available on Boats To Buy, from older ski boat sales to nearly new 600 series boats. If skiing is your thing then you should check up on any of the many online ski boats sales available at very low prices. You can get your hands on a used Haines Signature Bowrider with a 200 HP Suzuki Outboard for under $58,000 for example, but there are many, many more used Haines Signature boats at even lower prices if you look in the right boat sales on the internet.

There are few reasons why anybody whose heart is set on it should not own a Haines Signature, whether new or used and Haines association with Suzuki Marine has provided the ideal power needed to get the best out of the super-perfect hull design. It is a brand that everybody that knows boats appreciates as being amongst the best in the world, and one that you can own.

Fishing Boats

Haines Signature boats are designed for use as fishing boats, with the family cruiser in mind. They are what you might call multi use boats, without compromising any of the benefits of both types of use. Thus, you will get all the fittings needed for serious fishing, such as built in tackle boxes and live bait tanks, and any carpeting is removable for fishing, as are the removable seats used for family cruising.

Leisure For The Family

It doesn't matter what signature boat you purchase, you will get the distinctive hull, known as the Signature Variable Dead rise Hull (SVDH) that has no flat surfaces, but is composed of a series of curves that allow the boat to ride well in rough water and maintain its course, even over heavy wakes. They have a soft landing, and at speed the front of the boat rises well out of the water without any loss of helm response.

They might not look the most beautiful on the trailer, but once in the water that all changes. Beauty and grace are hallmarks of Haines Signature. It is their signature range, indicating the skills and technical ability of the design and construction facilities that Haines use.

Without a doubt, the Haines Signature series of boats are ideal, whether you want some serious sea fishing or just a pleasure ride with your family. They are also great ski boats, and can handle some of the more powerful outboards that really let you go. How better to spend a Sunday afternoon!
