Haines Hunter Classic series

HAINES Hunter's award-winning Classic Series comprises all-round models suitable for serious offshore fishing or leisurely family cruising.

Combining the balance of performance and stability, and designed to accept single or twin engine applications, the 600 and 650 Classic Series 21° Performance Deadrise Vee (PDV) hull designs are the result of extensive R&D and thorough understanding of Australian conditions.

Measuring 6.25m LOA and 6.75m LOA respectively, the 600 and 650 Classic Offshore are purpose-built for bluewater fishing. Each model boasts an ultra-heavy hull for exceptional performance in less than perfect conditions, while a long-range fuel capacity will get you to the fishing grounds and back.

Both Classic Offshore models incorporate functional fishing features such as large livebait tanks, stainless steel rod holders, padded cockpit coamings, and plenty of side pocket and underfloor storage.

At the same time, both the 600 and 650 Classic Offshore have enough creature comforts to keep the whole family happy, with a spacious cabin that provides a day retreat for the kids or will comfortably sleep two adults on an overnighter.

If family boating takes priority over fishing, the 600 and 650 Classic Cruiser will fit the bill perfectly, with an impressive list of creature comforts.

Built on the same Haines Hunter PDV hulls, the Classic Cruiser layout features a comfortable L-shaped lounge and cockpit table to sit down to dinner at after preparing it in the portside galley. A freshwater tank and sink will also allow you to wash the dishes before heading down in to the comfortable cabin for the night.

Despite the family-friendly features, the fishability of both Classic Cruiser models hasn't been compromised. The wrap-around lounge and table can be simply removed to create a spacious and functional fishing platform, while the comfortable cabin provides an escape for those who don't want to fish.

All hulls are backed by a seven-year structural warranty.
