Gday all. So down here in victoria there has been a long standing love "and brand battles" over Old formular /Reg Hunt style hulls for decades... and in the last few years classic hulls have had a huge resergence in popularity.
So a new brand from the owner of Haines Hunter has sprung up to capture a bit of this market. Southern Formula boats had their VIP launch last night showcasing their 24 and 21 models. Paired with Mercury Marine and their new v8 4 stroke platform, Raymarine, Furuno, Easytow trailers.
Theres a lot of stuff that has happened within the scene here that i wont bore you all with. here are some pictures and stats

holy smokes what a weapon, pretty high in the front, toughen windscreen, aggresive reverse chines, probably goes like a cracker. i reckon you wouldnt have much change from 150k.. would float someones boat though. flatscreen in the dash board wowsers.
I'll bet it's well over 150k--probably closer to , or over, 200k with twins. 21 degree deadrise? lot less than the original 23?), but probably easier to live with when you stop, as you mostly have to when fishing
Looks very trick. Don't think too many will pay up for one though.
So one of the big key points made over and over at the event was the emphasis on it being a fishing platform not a racing boat. and the decision to go to 21o at the stern was made to improve that fishability.. not try to turn a racing pedigree into a fishing boat. i can dig that.
in terms of pricing. i asked john that question. a 25 with twin merc verado v8 AMS engines <-big deal. `16" raymarine and furuno 295 plus 2x 1kw transducers, autopilot etc.. was less than 150k!
hull package with seats/ windscreen etc was around 60k
21ft was around 50k
Sounds like a very good price--no trailer in that, of course??
arh sorry that was including the easytow 4t alloy trailer
What happened to the other hull.
