620 procraft boats

Rosco,

that is definitely the old seafarer vanquish, with a new name.

As for Yalta V the Procraft, they are more similar than you may think..

Thought I read somewhere that the Yalta's were an old Seafarer hull, is that what you are hinting at Honda?

Yes, the same thing, I have a Haines TC 200 and it is the same hull, coastal took it over from Haines as the sole distributor ,still manufactured by Haines.
I have a 175 Suzuki on, been everywhere on it.

Cant exactly confirm Hayden, but they look extremely similar, Hull shape, Pod, even the way the top deck attached.

Honda.

What I want to know also is why have Haines and seafarer not kept it under their names on this mould why is it now procaft.???

Has anyone been in one or bought one? Considering one but still not much feedback or reviews on this model.

Simple answer- it's called badge engineering. Procraft gets the hull manufactured by Haines Group and then fits it out to their own specification to create product differentiation. It's a daily occurrence in the automotive industry and has been for decades i.e. Suzuki and Holden Swift-Barina, Ignis and Cruze; Ford and Mazda commercials; Mazda 323 and Ford Laser; as well as the badge engineering of engines. But back to boats - have a look at the diesel Mercruiser and the 3 litre VW diesel out of the Touareg not to mention the outboards since the 1970's. Some watch movements come out of the same factory but sell in differently branded cases with different faces. And so it goes on...

As far as we can see the hull was not an original Seafarer model but a Haines TC 200 and for some reason it was renamed as a Seafarer by Haines who appear to have have allowed / assisted in the re-badged of it. The one person I know that has one from when it was a Haines seems happy with it.
