For sale is my Haines Hunter 650 Classic. It's in beautiful condition; a lot of people mistake it for a new boat. It has spent most of its life undercover in a shed. I'm the second owner.
I have spent big money on this as I intended to keep it for 10+ years. But then the owner of my old boat (24ft McKeeCraft, 24.5 degree deadrise) rang me up and offered to sell it back to me. The Haines is fantastic, but my old boat puts Formula 233s to shame.
The Boat
6.50m Haines 650 classic. Length including bowsprit is 6.75m. They still use this hull today in the Haines Hunter 675.
Hull only weight is 1300kg. If you know boats, you know that for a 21ft boat this is very heavy and strong.
Thoroughbred Hull, comfortable and stable.
Loads of cabin space plus a big deck.
Underfloor storage.
Excellent access to bilge and batteries.
Seating for four plus loads of seating in the cabin.

Trailer
It has a legal trailer! A lot of these were sold with 2.2 to 2.4t trailers (illegal). This one has a 2024 aluminium 3500kg Spitfire drive on-drive off aluminium trailer with stainless steel discs, LED lighting, Landcruiser bolt pattern on wheels. Fuelled up weight is 2700kg (including ball weight of 220kg). The trailer has plenty in reserve. Its legal to tow behind a Pajero or some of the later model Prados.
