1983 HAINES HUNTER 1983 HAINES HUNTER V17

The 1983 Haines Hunter V17 is a genuine piece of New Zealand boating heritage - a compact, tough fibreglass hull that has earned its reputation through decades of reliable on-water performance. At 5.0 metres, the V17 strikes an ideal balance between practicality and capability, making it a go-to choice for inshore fishing, coastal cruising, and relaxed family days afloat. Power comes from a Yamaha 140hp two-stroke outboard with an impressively low 152 hours on the clock, delivering strong, responsive performance across a range of conditions. A Yamaha 8hp auxiliary outboard is fitted to a dedicated auxiliary bracket - a welcome safety net for any serious boatie heading offshore. The rig sits on a homebuilt single axle braked trailer complete with guide poles and a spare wheel, making launching and retrieval straightforward. Onboard features include bow rails, a canopy for weather protection, rod holders, ski pole, tote tank, and under-floor fuel tank. A Uniden VHF radio rounds out the practical safety equipment. This is an honest, no-fuss package offering exceptional value for buyers seeking a dependable fishing or recreational boat. With low engine hours, dual outboards, and a complete ready-to-launch setup, the 1983 Haines Hunter V17 represents smart buying at $19,990.
