    boat comparison

    Hi all, I am currently looking to buy a second hand boat, and these two are within my price range, but I would love some advice. Am situated in South Australia.

    2004 Haines Signature 530c
    Suzuki 90hp 4stroke (unsure of year)
    550hrs
    $26k dealer

    2003 Mustang 1750 Tournament
    Evinrude e-tec (unsure of year)
    360hrs
    $28k private

    I don't know very much about the Tournaments, so any feedback will be greatly appreciated. Haines has a good name, so id be confident in buying the Signature. tournament has the better trailer, a few more features, and I believe is a little longer.

    Thanks in advance!

    Pay money to a boat builder/repairer to check them out structurally. A 530 with a 90 isn’t going to set the world on fire in the speed department.

    I agree the 90 suzuki wont set speed records but it could be perfectly ok with the right prop. The tournament was an ok boat too but not as well finished or as plush a ride was my impression all those years ago.
