The Haines family have built the Signature range of boats here in the SE corner of Qld for decades and build a sensational family trailer boat. In many people's minds, the main feature of a Signature is not just its suitability for fishing and boating; it is about its sea kindliness, its ability to make lousy weather tolerable, and mediocre sea conditions comfortable underway.

This package is powered by a 220 hour old, Suzuki 100Hp DF100B EFI four stroke that is a perfect power and weight match on the transom of this hull delivering exceptional fuel economy and the known Suzuki reliability.

The annual engine service will be completed by JCM prior to your handover, saving you this cost until next due, 12 months from now. Like all outboards sold through JCM, they are pre-tested to ensure you are buying a quality and reliable JCM Certified outboard, backed with the assurances that the JCM Certification program provides.

Saving you the anxiety of potentially buying from the private market and taking risks.

The dash has the "Signature" touch of class with a beautifully presented array of quality electronics, like the touch screen Simrad GPS/Sounder GO9 MFD, linked to the Simrad 3:1 transducer that offers Side-Vïew" capabilities. No excuses now for not finding the fish or knowing where you are!

The dash also houses the Fusion Bluetooth stereo head unit and the GME VHF radio, switching and a 12v power outlet.

Overhead quality weather covers are fitted with a bimini top offering shade and reprieve from the midday sun and easily lowers for highway speed towing and or overhead storage issues.
F - for Family and F - for Fishing and the cockpit can do both perfectly with a folding rear lounge, cockpit safety grab rails, genuine Haines Signature bait prep station, saltwater deck wash, soft floor foam flooring and so much more as outlined and listed in detail further below.

The cabin is light, airy thanks to the white upholstery and the large cabin hatch. Plenty of storage for the safety gear and days items can be placed either in the large side pockets found throughout the cabin and cockpit. The vee berth also has the centre infill squab making a comfy place for the children to catch a nap after a big morning on the water.
