1998 HAINES HUNTER 1998 HAINES HUNTER SR535

The 1998 Haines Hunter SR535 is a proven Kiwi classic that has earned its reputation on New Zealand's coastal waters and lakes for decades. Known for its confidence-inspiring ride, robust fibreglass hull, and predictable handling, the SR535 remains one of the most respected compact trailer boats in the country. At 5.8 metres, it strikes the ideal balance between versatility and ease of ownership - capable enough for coastal fishing and comfortable family days on the water, yet simple to tow and launch solo. Power comes from a 1997 Johnson 130hp 2-stroke outboard with a low 401 hours on the clock, delivering lively, responsive performance that suits both open water runs and sheltered inshore work. The two-stroke combination keeps things simple and economical to maintain. Fishing credentials are well supported with rod holders, rod racks, an underfloor fuel tank, auxiliary bracket, and a Lowrance 9TS fish finder already installed. A canopy with side curtains extends the usable season and adds comfort underway. The rig sits on a DMW single-axle braked trailer complete with spare wheel - ready to tow and go. A tidy, honest example of a much-loved model, this SR535 represents outstanding value at NZD $27,990. Available now in Taupo.
