Ultimate guide to Haines Hunter boats

Few Australian trailerboat brands can be rated as iconic as Haines Hunter. Fewer still have the history and heritage.

Founded in Queensland more than half a century ago, Haines Hunter has changed owners and hands numerous times over the years, yet the strength of the brand has always endured.

Over the decades, Haines Hunter has manufactured countless boats and models. Many were destined to fall into obscurity, like the Haines alloy hulls. Others became true classics and remain immensely popular on the used boat market, such as our very own Haines V19 restoration project boat.

Today, new Haines Hunter fishing boats (and a few non-fishing boats) are made in Melbourne, Victoria, at Haines Hunter’s world-class manufacturing facility in Derrimut.
