Quite some time ago i saw two huntsmans for sale, one in tassie and one in vic. They were huntsman cuddy cabs (basicallly the driver was albe to stand up easily and steer the baot) they were apprx 17-18 foot long, and were approx late eighties to early ninety's. Does anyone know what they were or have pics etc. They looked quite good and wouldn't mind buying one if i knew what they where.

Cheers

Greg,
There have been a few different varieties of Huntsman over the years with the originals built by a guy who I recall built/worked at Bertram, then started Nova and then Huntsman (hence they all looked very similar). Try a boatsales/boatpoint search or google (Oz sites) which should come up with many hits & photos to give you a lead for the model you are after.
cheers

Thanks for your reply, i have been looking at these websites for the last 6 or so months, but no luck. i guess they could have been custom, however having seen two forsale the same, me thinks not. hmmm

I would be having a close look at Edencraft. Common parentage..!

Thanks for your reply's peoples. Yes i guess they were quite similiar to the edencraft and also the v17r and v19's the only differece between the haines and the huntsman i'm talking about is the the steering is a little higher and they had no windscreen, just fiberglass up like the endencrft, thus being able to stand up and steer. Personally i dont the v17 and v19 r 's due to the low seats and quite hard to steer wilst standing up
