Winner of the prestigious 1998 Modern Boating "Family Boat Of The Year" Award.
It's hard to describe the beautiful buzz that comes from driving the stunning new Haines Signature Five50 BR - the Bow Rider. A very special new model from Australasia's leading powerboat designer.
With brilliant handling and performance, these exciting new "variable deadrise" trailer boats were inspired by John Haines' 30 years experience designing countless thousands of high performance craft for New Zealand and Australian families and ski-racers.
The Five50 series move fast and handle - oh boy do they handle! The Five50 weaves through a slalom with its cutaway transom with minimal drag; turning on a dime, re-writing the standards for "chuckability" and .... well theres no better way of putting it sheer old fashioned fun!
Continuing the evolution of Haines Signature Variable Deadrise Hull (SVDH) form, the Five50 series are the very latest models. Check out the awesome hull shape; experience the outstanding ride softness; explore the limits through a full speed chicane. It doesn't get any better.
The Five50 BR is no show pony, it will take care of your family if your unlucky to be caught in one of those summer "southerly blusters" this is the boat that eats choppy bay conditions. The Five50 BR has the sea worthiness, the safety margin and the toughness to handle our conditions for years and years - and with just normal TLC, will brush up like new, long after the imports have faded into the classified pages.
