go down to JV Marine in melbourne, never seen so many Haines signitures for sale, that had me thinking but , i put it down to the bar crusher being so expensive that maybe people want to consolidate their debts and down size. the only negative ive read is the bloop bloop sound coming from the chamber, build quality and ride and design is right up their is what i understand .
look at the instant boating package for the savage
max hp 135 the package includes a 75 etec what a pig of a boat it would be
ole mate buys his boat takes it to a south coast bar with 3 mates on board and gets pummeled trying to get out

have a look at a "proper" offshore boat and the hull weights
Give a man a fish & he will eat for a day !
Teach him how to fish
& he will sit in a boat - & drink beer all day!

Never did quite understand when people say weight is what makes a boat ride best, if that was all there was to it, then simply adding ballast would be common, how about you try this, get a (say) 4 m flat bottom punt, put a couple of hundred KG in it and go for a run in some chop, you are going to get pounded, now get a 4m Webster twin hull with little weight in the same chop! Weight is not the end of the story, shape pays a way bigger part in ride than material of construction or how heavy it is.
2nd hand for sale of reasonably new items is a good indication of peoples satisfaction.
Some boats rarely come up and hold their value exceptionally well (generally for good reason).
Vromme i agree with that your old dated boat needs to go some where
The good side is heaps of bar crushers were sold so they were very popular the down side is the retail value after 10 years and so many being bought and sold to upgrade to a new model bar crusher
I absolutely love the look of them
2240kg a pair of these http://vi.raptor.ebaydesc.com/ws/eBa...=0&cspheader=1
Totally agree there. With modern composite techniques such as using compressed foam and vacuum bagging glass boats are getting lighter all the time and plate boats seem to be getting heavier and heavier. If weight helps with a certain hull shape, I’d say great, use the modern technique and add bigger fuel and live bait tanks thanks. 😂
Democracy: Simply a system that allows the 51% to steal from the other 49%.
Problem is with designing to guys the lighter u go u need to factor that in look at the bowdidge marine sea strike 16 the chines sit clear of the water at rest the problem was supposedly guys using to light of plywoodin the build there is one on ebay for sale shows it floating
but then look at the abalone diving boats being made on the south coast or victoria
old haines flops with very heavy hulls and tbh pretty basic fitouts
weight at rest is different to weight under way noelm, the barcrushers fill up at rest and provide stability
But underway iy all empties and its just a reg plate boat, a reg plate boat with a fine entry that seems to entice spray up and over the boat
ive only been in a small one a few times 560 and it seemed alright but there are stories of that fine entry burying itself into waves and the owners having a worried moment if its going to come back up again
