New Haines Traveller ordered.

[greenie61]

Well i've bitten the bullet (& the bank manager) & traded my Horizon Northener 415 in on a Haines Traveller TD 157 ( http://www.travellerboats.com/conten...ID=20&mainID=4 ) which is the same boat as Scott Mitchell's & Breakthelines (Jay).

I've gone with nearly all of the options plus a Minn kota Riptide bowmount & a Lowrance hds-7 sounder/GPS ( bought through & to be fitted by Grand_Marlin ).
Hopefully it will be ready by the end of August/early September so i can get used to it before our annual trip to Yamba.

I'll post up some pics as soon as i get some.

Cheers
Mark

Mark that looks awesome - congrats. Now you've got that painful wait for delivery. Some pics would be great as they come through from the factory. What engine and configuration you going with? I see the video on their site says it can manage with a 25HP but they had a 50HP running on theirs.

Tell you what, if the boat can run on 25HP it must scream with a 70. Good stuff...

DF 70 on a Haines, it just doesn't get any better than that.

Enjoy it.

You'll love the Haines Mark - it is an amazingly versatile hull

What deck colour did you go with - we love the stones on our

Look forward to seeing some pics - Scotto

Good luck with your new boat.
I've got a 485SF on order since mid April with about another 4 weeks before delivery. You might want to ring Haines to check on how long your boat will be.

I hope it dosn't take that long as it's pretty hard to fish the Clarence without a boat.

[krazyfisher]

Thanks Jay, But this waiting is a pain..... I had to go & buy a new rod & reel just to keep me sane.
