Haines Hunter's sportfishing boats are the things of most anglers' dreams and now the recently-released 575 ProFish has brought the dream much closer to reality.
With an overall length of 5.90 metres and a beam of 2.25m, the 575 ProFish deep-V hull combines the balance of performance and stability that anglers seek. The fully-fibreglassed stringer system ensure the boats have the maximum hull strength needed for inshore and offshore conditions.
The 575 ProFish has been designed specifically for serious anglers and the standard fishing package will enable most fishermen to hit the water with a minimum of extra financial outlay.
The helm design allows ample space to install marine electronics and the wide side pockets swallow mountains of gear. Cockpit space allows four large adult men to fish in comfort without disturbing each other.
While the standard 575 ProFish comes almost fully equipped, there is still plenty of scope for customisation with the list of optional extras. A rear bench seat, a lined cabin and deck carpet are just a few of the creature comforts available to make the 575 a perfect all-round family boat.
Designed to take outboards up to 150hp and with a 160 litre fuel capacity, the 575 can get to favoured offshore fishing grounds or be used for a day towing ski toys for the kids. The overall weight of just 850kg means the boat can be towed easily behind the average family car.
After more than 50 years in the boat building business, Haines Hunter is renowned for its build quality and attention to detail.
The company recently appointed Deegan Marine as its exclusive dealer in Tasmania. Based at Ulverstone, Deegan Marine is a family owned and operated company that has been serving the Apple Isle's boating public for more than 40 years.
Haines Hunter director John Haber says the appointment is part of a national review of the company's dealer network.
"While producing the highest quality fibreglass boats in the country is a core focus, it is equally important the brand is represented in the best possible light," Haber says, "We are very excited to have Deegan Marine onboard to help us achieve that."
