    All up weight of Haines 17L

    I know there are a few Haines 17's out there. I'm looking at a 17l with a tandom trailer and a 115 four banger. Wondering what the weight might be. My Hi Lux is rated to 1800kg.

      JJ, the 1978 haines brochure says 442 kg hull only, the 2005 yamaha brochure says 188 kg for a 115 hp 4 stroke. A couple of pieces of the puzzle for you.

        Hey J.J.

        Being a Victorian I suspect that you would know a "Boomerang 20" Trailer Sailer.

        I had one quite a few years ago and towed it with an 18R petrol
        Hi-Lux without any trouble.
        Mind you it was not a wheel spinner but did the job. Some long road trips up the coast with all the gear for a week out on the reef.

        I would suggest that something a bit bigger would be advisable for anything over about 1500kg.

        You didn't define your motor or spec for your Hi-Lux so most of us are guessing a bit.

        A bit of weight on the tray might help too.

        Have fun Haji-Baba

          That's sounds good then. Dodgy There is one here with a strengthened hull and a 175 on the back. If it was an opti or similiar I'd go for it but a normal 2 stroke would use too much fuel for my intended use which is long distances into the southern ocean. Would I like to have one of these in Darwin! It must be fun where you are going past those platies at a rate of knots.

            Yep I know them Haji..I used to tow my cole 23 with a little daihatsu 4x4 with a 1600 motor.. The motor in the lux is a 3 ltr Diesel non turbo. I wasn't worried about the power just the weight now that I'm more sensible and like to keep legal, mostly.

            Used to have a few races against the boomerangs. Lots of fun.

              J.J. Won many a race in My Boomerang out of Sandgate Yacht Club here in Brisbane.

              As for weight, a big tool box up near the cab with all the usual junk we sometimes carry and a couple of batteries for your electric winch.

              A water tank is also real good, easy to load, just turn the hose on, to empty just turn the tap on simple.

              You will be pleased with a Haines, we have had two, now got a little 445c. for pottering around Bribie for a feed of fish.

              Not too keen about going out too far now, the old legs give up after a while.

              My son took me out last year in a good south westerly 18m miles off Caloundra and halfway back to Bribie I offered to walk home if he could just stop for a minute so I could get off.
              Bl**dy rough.

                Should be well under 1800kg, probably closer to 1600kg fully loaded.

                I think the strengthened one your talking about with the 175 might be an Edencraft built by/for the original owner of that business.

                    going by Jeff Websters mags the V17L is one of the all time greats, I was looking at them but the 5.2m was just a tad too big for me to beach launch by myself also the 22.5deg dead rise would make it harder to beach launch (the spearo's love them around here though)

                    my 16' Nova is 500kg dry weight after all the mods and the V17L is rated at 442kg, will have to do a final weight fully loaded now

                    great boat and have fun with one

                        Hey JJ

                        Mate I would be surprised if the package in race trim (fishing) came up to 1400 K's, would think 1200-1300 would be closer to the mark.

                        Old mate use to have one that I fished out of a few times and watched it in the water from my boat, they go very well, won't get close to the 19 but weight for age they do the job better than most in that size.

                        One thing I did not like about them was not having a anchor well outside the cab, about the only thing though.

                        Cheers

                        Bill

                            Funny you should ask that John. I've been on the lookout for a another boat for a while now and when I see one with an Etec I instinctively discount it. Although I keep away from the arguments I must take the negativity in at some level and I guess if I do then other people do as well which would make the rig harder to sell when I move on.
