We strive to continue to set the benchmark for trailerable fibreglass boats in Australia today and build each boat with our Haines Signature DNA. That’s why every Haines Signature boat (built from 2011 onwards) is backed by an industry leading 10+2 year warranty (10 year structural, 2 year parts), so that our customers can be confident on the water knowing they’re on board Australia’s best built boat. Your dealer will provide you with details on your warranty upon registration with us. Please feel free to get in touch with your dealer if you have any questions about your warranty.

The world-patented Signature Variable Deadrise Hull (SVDH) is synonymous with the Haines ride and each boat is built on this revolutionary hull acclaimed for its performance, planing ability and fuel saving benefits, achieved by its striking 21–33° deadrise. For more info on the SVDH, check out the About Us page.

RIVALE stands for Resin Injection Vacuum Assisted Low Emission and is a special technology developed by The Haines Group, with the help of federal funding, that’s a unique closed moulding manufacturing process. RIVALE technology ensures a consistency of product, better product characteristics, as well as reduced styrene emissions. The 485SF was created and built using this process (the first of its kind). It’s a 4.85m open fibreglass dinghy with a hull weight of 570kg, can carry up to four passengers and can be customised with numerous alternative configurations; a feat that’s never been achieved by the marine industry before.

For over 50 years we have proven that we have the strongest and most advanced hull design of any trailer boat on the market in Australia today. We use specially designed plywood timber in key structural areas. More superior than any marine-grade timber, the individual layers in our product is treated and protected prior to assembly ensuring no further treatment is needed, even when cut. This strengthens the build quality of our boats, reducing vibration, creating rigidity and acts as an ideal mounting area for components such as electrics. Haines Signature also provides the option of our range of boats being built timber-free. This uses Thermo-lite Board which is a lightweight composite marine-grade product manufactured with cross-linked polymer foam and fibreglass and offers high specific strength and toughness. Our 788SF model is built using Thermo-lite Board, as standard. Any boat manufactured using the optional Thermo-lite Board in place of the standard ply in the build will be subject to a 5+2 year warranty (5 year structural, 2 year parts).

A number of our boats are built with a fully moulded Nexus liner. This liner is a complete (fibreglass) skin which is bonded to the inside of the hull and the spaces between the moulds are foam filled. This increases hull strength by up to 30% and gives amazing rigidity, a quiet ride and allows for an easy clean up after a busy day on the water.

One of the many benefits of our range of boats is their versatility and ability to perform on the water regardless of whether you’re inshore or offshore, backed by the Signature Variable Deadrise Hull to provide a soft and stable ride to get you there and back safely. For more info, please refer to the specific boat model page for more features and specifications.
