Boating New Zealand - September 2006

Bowriders by their nature are family sports boats, more commonly used for cruising or water sports such as skiing, wakeboarding, knee boarding and biscuiting. While a fast speed is relatively easy to maintain, any experienced boatie will tell you just how hard it can be to maintain the lower planing speeds required to tow wakeboarders, kneeboarders and learners. The patented Haines Signature SVDH hull makes this task a breeze with planing speeds from as low as 5 knots being achievable. Combining stylish good looks with the Haines Signature SVDH hull and loads of storage space produce a very practical and desirable boat for the whole family.
