1983 HAINES HUNTER 1983 HAINES HUNTER V17

The 1983 Haines Hunter V17 is a legendary piece of New Zealand boating history - a tough, capable hull that has stood the test of time and continues to perform with confidence on inshore and coastal waters. At 5.0 metres, the V17 strikes the ideal balance between compact practicality and on-water capability, making it equally at home on a fishing mission or a relaxed weekend cruise. Power comes from a Yamaha 140hp two-stroke outboard with just 152 hours on the clock - remarkably low for its vintage and a testament to careful ownership. A Yamaha 8hp auxiliary outboard is also fitted to the bracket, delivering an added layer of safety and reassurance well offshore or when the unexpected happens. The boat is well appointed with bow rails, a canopy, rod holders, ski pole, tote tank, and an under-floor fuel tank - everything you need for a practical, ready-to-fish setup. A Uniden VHF radio adds important safety capability, while trailer guide poles make solo launching effortless. The homebuilt single axle braked trailer with spare wheel completes a no-fuss, tow-and-go package. Haines Hunter's renowned deep-V hull delivers the smooth, confidence-inspiring ride the brand is famous for. At $19,990, this is outstanding value for a proven, dual-purpose boat.
