65-year heritage sets Haines Signature apart from rivals
They’ve been building watercraft right here in Australia since 1959, and even today, Haines Signature stands out as a leader in fiberglass trailer boats. Catering for fishers and families alike, they’re renowned for exceptional quality.
Thanks to the Signature Variable Deadrise Hull (SVDH) incorporated into every boat; their entire range offers superb handling on the water and outstanding stability at rest. It makes for a softer ride, is more fuel efficient, and keeps occupants dry too.
Their model range spans 11 boats across three categories, fishing, sports fishing and bow riders, designated by an F, SF or BR respectively. The cuddy cabin 525F kicks things off and is a practical day boat that can be taken offshore.
It offers massive deck space, with a walkthrough dash and windscreen providing easy access to storage in the bow. Tipping the scales at 1,380kg (including fuel), it seats five and is suitable for motors ranging from 70-140hp.
The 543SF is tailor made for true sports fishing and features a moulded non-slip deck, an expansive casting space upfront, a walk around cockpit, and plenty of storage (including kill tanks and live bait wells).
Weighing in at 1,688kg and supporting engines ranging from 90-150hp, it has a customisable layout. It’s joined by the versatile 545F fishing boat. Slightly lighter at 1,600kg, it utilises the same motor options, and sports a massive open deck.
It has an open half cabin with bunk cushions and storage, as well as a split dash and walkthrough windscreen. Similar in size, the 550BR is a 1,445kg sleek, modern and versatile bow rider.
Highly maneuverable, it’s shallow water capable and available in a range of hull and interior colour combinations. Next up is the boat that even the team at Haines Signature rates is the epitome of its brand DNA – the 620BR.
A legendary sports boat, it offers outstanding handling and exhilarating performance, along with quality inclusions and finishes. Perfect for lakes, rivers and bays, it has full trim and tilt for the motor, meaning you can literally pull up to the beach for a picnic.
Not bad for a boat that weighs 1,743kg and supports engines from 115 to 200hp. Its big brother is a reimagined classic, now known as the 620BRX. An offshore capable sports boat that you can add a wakeboard tower to, should you so desire.
This model features a U-shaped seating layout, an igloo esky, Simrad GO7XSR chart plotter, JL Audio sound and Bluetooth connectivity (with two speakers). The 620BRX could easily be a proper party boat.
Its fishing focused sibling is the 620F, an extremely capable boat that’s ready for reefs, open water, estuaries and bays. Weighing 1,869kg and featuring a 180-litre fuel tank, it comes with a fully moulded non-slip deck, side pockets, and large kill and bait tanks.
You can also opt for a side door, split bow rails and a bait prep board. The 640 twins are next in the range, in F and SF form. Both feature class-leading electronics, loads of storage, massive kill tanks and an optional hardtop roof.
Both can also run up to 200hp engines, and tip the scales at less than 2,400kg, but it’s the astounding range from the SF variant’s 300-litre tank that sets it apart as one of the best sports fishing boats on the market.
That’s thanks to its theoretical travel range of 498km on a single tank. From there, things get bigger, and the 680F might just be the ultimate fishing boat. Tipping the scales at 2,629kg, it’s capable of running 200 V6 to 250hp engines.
It’s a striking and formidable offshore champion, with the option of a fully enclosed hardtop. If looks could kill, the fish would be jumping on board, such is its styling, and the extra-large cabin can sleep two.
Rounding out the range is the flagship 788SF. A blue water sports fisher with long-range capability and a 500-litre tank, it seats 10, and is one of the largest legally-trailerable boats in Australia. It tips the scales at 3,400kg.
Capable of supporting engines from 250-500hp (twin outboards), this high-performance show stopper is built using Thermo-lite Board composite fiberglass and has a full shower, toilet and vanity to make long trips with the family comfortable.
Every Haines Signature boat is backed by a 10-year structural and 2-year general warranty (except for those built using Thermo-lite Board lightweight construction offering – these carry a 5+2 warranty).
