New Haines Signature 545F fishing trailerboat
The new dual-purpose Haines Signature 545F has an oversized open cockpit, offering more fishing room and family safetyHaines Signature Boats has a new 545F aimed at fishers and their families chasing fibreglass-trailerboat performance plus practicality underpinned by oodles of cockpit space.
Measuring 5.45m in length and 2.13m across the beam, the 545F caters to active fishing pursuits and moving around freely when the bite is on.
The huge open floor plan and a high freeboard also add to your offshore safety and boating with the whole family boating.
At the same time, the open half cab offers weather protection and dry storage. There are windows and bunk cushions, a split dash with walk-through windscreen for easy access to the anchor, and a helm console that has room for gauges, controls and today's state-of-the-art electronics up to 12in.
Extra-wide side pockets, a live bait tank and glove box means there's plenty of storage for fishing gear and other necessities when heading out on the water.
VERSATILITY IS THE KEY
John Haines describes the new Haines Signature 545F as a high-performing, versatile boat with all the features you'd expect from a larger vessel.
"The 545F is essentially the big 'sister' to the 525F and is inspired by some of our most popular fishing models — we've incorporated many elements that dedicated fishos will appreciate into a compact unit without making it feel small.
"Whether heading offshore or cruising down the waterways with the family, the 545F is a comfortable ride, demonstrating Signature's attention to detail and design philosophy, with the added performance to cap it all off," Haines said.
Other standard features include a 100lt fuel tank, four stainless steel rod holders, transom door and a sports steering wheel. There are said to be plenty of optional extras available to make the boat 'fully customisable'.
EASILY-DRIVEN VARIABLE DEADRISE HULL
A power rating of 90-150hp, and the added bonus of the soft and stable ride from the Signature Variable Deadrise Hull, adds to the appeal of the Haines Signature 545F.
Then there is the value quotient. To reduce costs, and make towing and launching a breeze, the new 545F is available on a single-axle trailer.
As a drive-away rig, the new Haines Signature 545F is priced from $49,990 for the boat, motor trailer package (Suzuki DF115ATX and Dunbier single-axle trailer), including Queensland registration and dealer delivery (ex-Brisbane) and on waters.
The Haines Signature 545F will be on debut at the Rosehill Trailer Boat Show from April 7-8 at the Good Times Marine stand (no. EX02). The boat is also backed by a 10+2 year warranty (10-year structural, two-year parts) by a company that has been around for 58 years.
