Haines Differences

[Smelly]

Hi Team!

Can someone please advise what year and main differences are for these Haines models:

V17R
V17L
V17C

Also, which of these three(3) has the deepest V?

Regards

not a haines man but
I think you will find the boats all the same in the hull with different top decks, cab, low profile etc
cheers

L is for Low profile cabin.

Here's a V17L

That's a beautiful looking boat Brefjen. I'm in love..

What is the Deadrise angle and what year was this made?

What HP do you run it with?

Think they where made around the '89 period. I have a Johnson 175 V6.
And thanks for the comments

My pic is the 17C.If you look down the line you will see a few 17 L's.Take no notice of the Southwind that is parked in there somewhere
Not sure what the deadrise is but they give a fantastic ride.

pretty sure the old haines hulls were 22.5 degree deadrise.. really good in the rough and plenty of glass in them, but pretty unstable at rest....And yes the 17c,17r and 17l all share the same hull, the 17l is still used as a small abalone boat because its fast.

Smelly,

Great little boats the Haines V17's, certainly able handle any normal PB bay chop. 1st pic is my old V17R and shows the deepvee hull. All the V17's share this hull, only the deck latout varies from model to model, eg C, R or L as previously explained.

Cheers,
Tony

A few different Haines hulls at a earlier 'Haines Day Out' M&G last year.

Orgasmic! You guys are spoilt!!!

Thanks all for your great pics - really gave me a good look in as to what all the fuss is about - now I know...!

I am in the market for a 4.5 - 5ish m boat for PPB. When I showed the deckie (wife) the pics this morning, she also fell head over heels -but then I had to tell her about the rocking at rest - big put off for her - anything been done by you guys to try and level out the rockiness at rest on the V17L?

Otherwise, I may be forced into a TABS platie (4.55 - 5m).. Thoughts? (remember PPB only)

Also - how do these V17L hulls compare to the Seafarer V-474 - in terms of ride through chop and stability at rest?

Brejen,

Can I ride your Mistress?

Smelly, the Haines hulls are perfect for PPB but if you want stability at rest there has to be a tradeoff. Personally I would prefer the safety underway of a Haines type of hull to worrying about stability at rest.
If the handbrake can't see this then buy a barge or fish off the pier!
Also as I mentioned earlier in one of your many threads re this I believe the minimum size for PPB to be no less than 17 foot. (Whatever that is in metric)

[Smelly]

Thanks DAVO, will certainly look into it - what is the year and deadrise on this baby!

Hoges - Totally agree with the saftey part.

When "stability at rest" is stated, what exactly does this mean - does it mean when all crew is stationary in center - it can still roack and sway alot - or does it mean boat leans to one side if 1 or more people are standing on the same side together - or even both?
