New Haines Traveller ordered.

what is the difference between the 157 and the 485sf? I like to look of them..

No difference at all. I think it's the only boat haines make that is sold under three different names.
Haines Signateure 485SF, Haines Traveller TD157 & the Seafarer Vantage 4.85 (Sports Fisherman).

Cheers

Today i received the phone call i've been waiting for. Darren from Coastal Powerboats was on the phone to tell me that the boat had just been delivered & did i want to come & have a look.

To say i was happy would be an understatement, The boys at Haines had done a hell of a job to get it done so quick & Darren from coastal had kept me in the loop the whole way.

A few pics. (sorry about the quality)






Fitout this week & a water test early next week & then it's over to Pete from Valet Boat Sevices to get the HDS 7 fitted.

Cheers

Thanks Scott, It would've been good to catch up (i think i owe Gordon a beer or three) but i have a few things to organise before i pick it up.

I havn't seen any reports of anyone with a 90hp on one. Maybe Scott can ask Gordon at the boat show & post back.

Gordo's new one has a 90 on it & will also be on display at the show as well - I look forward to catching up with those who can make it
