600RF


Boat Tests:
Boating New Zealand Magazine - June 2004

In the 70s, there was an all-rounder gazetted to have re-set the benchmark for Australian trailer boating. It was Haines 's V-19R, a legend.

The 600RF is its protege. But it has the added advantage of today's technology and incorporates the exclusive Signature Variable Deadrise Hull so its performance rating is oceans ahead of its legendary forebear.

It trolls on the plane, at low speeds for hours on end. Dropping anchor, step through the open windscreen and foredeck right up to the anchor locker where there's volumes of storage space. And right throughout the 600RF, there's stowage in moulded side lockers, occasional bunks, optional toilet, shelves and hatches for live bait and battery. As legends have it, the 600RF is another in the making.
