Haines Group introduces new 502RF

The Haines Group has introduced what it calls a “purpose-built fishing boat”, the Signature 502RF — “RF” meaning Runabout Fisher — which can operate in a range of fishing environments and employs the company’s patented Variable Deadrise Hull.

The new model is aimed squarely at anglers. Some of its features include: a 25in transom; a modern dash that will take a 12in screen; Tallon receivers to match Tallon accessories; a 12V power plug; battery isolation switch; standard auto bilgepump; foam-filled interior; high freeboard for safety; and a 100lt fuel tank. It also has large volume stowage areas in the bow and at about 1120kg the 502RF doesn’t need a 4x4 tow vehicle.
