2009 Haines Signiture 485sf (sport fisher)

[Martin Kuhn]

Hi fellow Flyrodders,
Its time to sell my beloved boat. She's given me huge amounts of enjoyment, both fly fishing and family ski boat duties, over the years.

The 485SF performs well above its size. The 485SF is purpose built for tournament fishing and is very well suited for fly fishing. It can also handle family fun activities such as towing the kids in a tube or on a board.

It is a tough, well featured, well laid out and well built boat with an open deck that's perfect for experienced fishermen who know what they want.

For a small boat it has plenty of storage. At the front we have the anchor well/locker, electric motor, casting deck incorporating a dry locker and a large live well. On the Port side we have rod locker. At mid-ships we have a Cooler/Fish locker. At back we have a casting deck incorporating bait locker, battery compartment, bile and storage locker.

The 485SF is manufactured using Haines' proprietory full Resin Injected Vacuum Assisted Low Emissions, that's lighter and the stronger than normal fibreglass construction.

This boat performs well on the water with complete confidence and with maximum strength regardless of whether you're hitting the lakes, dams estuaries, near shore or inshore on a glassy or choppy day.

Selling Price is $24,5000. Open to offers. Im happy to give a 'club discount'

Feel free to call me on 0408903997 if you are interested. I'm happy to go out for a test drive if you want. Also happy to answer any Q's at a club meeting.
