New Haines Signature 550RF fishing runabout
A super stable fishing runabout with more beam, range, and featuresHaines Signature Boats has released its widest runabout yet, with the 550RF model, following the launch of the Haines Signature 550F (review) cuddy-cab fishing model earlier this year.
The new runabout boasts the same new hull design for greater stability at rest, thanks to its relatively broad 2.41m beam, and replaces the hugely popular 543RF model.
The eighth-generation 550RF has been designed to offer serious fishos more than 27cm (11 inches) of space than its predecessor, giving way to a large open deck area which should also be appreciated by families.
As well as the extra cockpit room, the new model also features a long-range 180lt fuel tank, walk-through front hatch, stainless-steel rod holders, large side pockets, live-bait tanks, bait board, 32mm stainless steel rails, and a walk-through transom door as standard.
The 550RF’s new-look dash has room for one large or multiple screens. With plenty of optional upgrades available such as drum winch, Roswell Bluetooth sound systems or premium targa, the 550RF allows you to customise the boat to suit your needs and style.
Haines Signature believes the 550RF is a true fishing weapon for those in pursuit of an A+ offshore performer.
"This boat has been designed and built for our customers who’ve asked us for a runabout that’s capable of running well offshore, but also feels at home trolling rivers and dams," said John Haines, Chief Executive Officer of The Haines Group.
"We’ve listened, taken their feedback on board and delivered, what we believe, is a fantastic fishing boat that captures the quality and character that our brand has been known for over the last five decades," Mr Haines said.
The 550RF has been rated with an outboard range from 115-150hp and is backed by Haines Signature’s10 year structural and two-year parts warranty. Priced from $54,175, inc GST for a boat, motor, trailer package (plus on waters and freight), this is also a value boating proposition.
The 550RF is available to order now with first deliveries expected by January 2017. For more information, contact your local Haines Signature dealer and see www.signatureboats.com.au.
