5m Whitepointer Super Hornet project boat

[@MountainBiky]

5:25 had me nervous with that drill bit wobble 😅

[@sUpErjOoNeY]

I love where you tested the boat. It’s by far my favourite place along the NSW coast. The last time I went fishing on the ocean there, my dad and I saw a Marlin jump out of the water as we were heading past the pub on the headland. We would have been barely 200m from the land couldn’t believe what we saw. Crazy to think on the right day you could probably catch a Marlin off the wharf there. Love the boat looks like an absolute beast!!

[@air-pala851]

Super nice boat guys, I've got a 20 year old Haines Signature 600 with a 2 stroke, super simple so I wonder how all these systems will be in 20 years.....

[@ADVENTURE_ONE__]

Epic boat, epic edit, very well done guys 👌

[@davidflukes8888]

Even as an analogue guy, this is an absolute beast of a boat to drive. Love it!1

[@mrcrankyank]

Classy AF lads well done

[@giorgos-athanasakis]

Fantastic boat and beautiful also!

[@BIG_WILLIS]

That boat is absolutely stunning I wish we had people that made mean boats like that in New Zealand

[@kaleheidke5232]

Dude if you can afford $250+ you can afford me to delivery to NZ.!

[@KirkAnderson-l3i]

Sweet looking boat.

[@YourBoatHere]

Beautiful boat

[@greenvr713]

I would be to worried to leave that trailer at the ramp all day, come back with all the gear removed.

[@chrissettree-bb9ih]

Yep had my winch mount knocked of it only cost a grand selfloader winch and post

[@chrissettree-bb9ih]

[@officialWWM]

That’s a cool looking boat.

[@mandoleenebando429]

I used to live right across the road from white pointer boats in Gisborne

[@zerotiech]

beautiful boat.. but why plastic hatches? Genuine question.

[@Gazman2400]

Cool Vid Boys 🤙

[@Nick.Stewart]

The alloy along side the rollers on the trailer makes me nervous, one mistake on a windy day and it could potentially be a nasty gouge in the hull

[@jb243wp]

Thought exactly the same thing myself.. Back to Eric's in 18 months for some gelcoat touch-ups on the chines 😂😅😂😅

[@Angler233]

The trailer is only suited for mariners. Never going to work at ramps with no protection and on shore breeze.

[@Max-ej8pe]

The trailer is a bit overkill for that size boat

[@officialWWM]

No way, it’s cool as hell!

[@jeffrogonzalo5067]

No bow mount electric I thought they were all the rage these days I must be out of touch. Sweet little boat tho

[@markuswilmes3694]

He builds great boats old Eric I own one

[@jb243wp]

Yep he sure does, thats for sure.. My 243 was a beast, was such a solid safe boat with high gunnels, incredible stable at rest because of the low centre of gravity, yet to be on a better all round hull, solid AF, but coming in at (towing) 4,250kg fully fueled and gear was getting to be a bit of a mission before I even got it in the water. 😔

[@stuartdy]

no build price ?

[@stewatparkpark2933]

It's a family show .

[@anvilranch1888]

If you have to ask…

[@bricehutchison]

Just double your guess

[@peterfinlan8159]

I'm going to go out on a limb and guess a >$200k tag on it.

[@bricehutchison]

@ my guess 140 for the boat not sure about trailer.

[@andrewhately5739]

Chopper gun???? For real😂

[@bradvantrump6539]

I want one thanks lad

[@bradk8702]

No price. I’m guessing it will be way too much for most of us. These top end builds with lots of Aussie labour involved seem to be aimed at the growing pool of well heeled self funded retirees.

[@PaulMalovFishing]

Big $$$ build

[@Isaacx_]

Alllllll of that stuff and no Minn kota? That’s the first thing i would have put on it

[@Johnycakee]

Its to have a wank over.. not to use.

[@thomaslindroos1667]

sure but if you have 60 grand to spend on a boat, would this be it?

[@brucehornet1454]

60K plus 60K and no

[@rob7385]

@@thomaslindroos1667 60 grand hahah I’d buy one for that

[@peterfinlan8159]

Triple it, at least.

[@MichaelandMaryH]

It’s probably 40k just for that trailer

[@Angler233]

60k wont even get you a stabi bath tub these days

[@romz90]

Trailer is overkill

[@skava1]

amazing looking boat but with all things these days moving more towards future tech - theres plenty more to go wrong if you’re out at sea nonetheless if you have the means, why not 🤷‍♂️

[@stephenlatimer1428]

nice boat. will stay with my Haines Signature 543SF SC and 640SF CC. i run the 150 PRO XS and the 200 PRO XS, awesome motors. i run the same 3 Dometic systems and totally agree, awesome. i run the latest MK Quests and 4 Humminbird Apex sounders. 2 on each boat. the 543 has twin Raptors(power poles)and both boats are run and powered by Dakota Lithiums. i like steel trailers, so both r custom drive on trailers. they have been treated and coated with Raptor products inside and outside. all towing is done with the latest F150. its taken me many years to sort through the different options in the market place for the 3 types of fishing i do. all barra dams and the Fitzroy River. inner island flats for Tuskies and golden trevally and the outer reef flats of the GBR for Geets and Chinaman.

[@kizzjd9578]

Who did the raptor coating? Im planning on buying a new gal trailer.

[@stephenlatimer1428]

@ mate did it myself. Make sure prep is properly done and have all the raptor products required for the job u r doing. KZbin has plenty of guidance as well. Take ur time and done properly is awesome.

Sounder wasn’t reading great at speed hey

[@joshsmith9058]

Nice i guess but a huge amount of money i am sure for a tiny boat.

[@Fluid36]

Still using a chopper gun? Lame. I'd expect hand laid up in structural matt for that price.

[@kizzjd9578]

Infusion would be even better, never seen a properly consolidated hand laid boat.

For Christ sake; just learn to drive the boat on and off the trailer was told told as a child just drive it on : not that hard

[@chippyjohn1]

Fibreglass and Mercury is hardly Australian mate. Aluminium and Suzuki is the way to go.

[@rob7385]

@@chippyjohn1 wat are you saying here im struggling to understand your logic?🧐

[@chippyjohn1]

@rob7385 Aluminium is far better, and Australian made. Mercury is poisonous to our waterways and fish, as is fibreglass. Suzuki's are great engines and manufactured closer plus last longer and more effecient. The US Australian trade deficit costs every working Australian about $100 a week. When you buy US products you are hurting Australia.

[@rob7385]

@ bahahahah did u escape from the circus? 🤡

[@chippyjohn1]

@rob7385 No. I escaped from the United Sociopaths.

[@jb243wp]

​@chippyjohn1 I might potentially agree with you on that aluminium is just as good, but only on one condition, find an ally hull that was built in the mid 60's that is still going as strong as the old Thunder Bird 233 formula's and those old Bertram's are going today... some are pushing 60 +yrs.

[@pennreelfishing]

Hull is perfect but I ideas for how I want my boat built. High side and storage and seats that you can move to the side of the boat. When fishing on boats you’re always fighting the fish in the boat and running around to play your fish while others are fishing. I have a idea that will limit it to 80 % of not interfering with other fishing. No one has come up with this EVER and I think it’s a game changer. It so simple. From a Aitutaki Cook Islander. I don’t like the end product of this boat. Skin Cancer is a big problem and no protection from the Sun is a big problem and in Australia especially. Your boat is okay

[@pennreelfishing]

No Timber. I have bought in Australia 10 boats and All Aluminium. Aluminium Rust but repair is quick and not expensive and right now I have a Barcrusher 6.7 hardtop and Quintrex 4.6 dory and a Quintrex coastrunner 4.8. I really don’t understand why anyone would put timber in fibreglass unless they want to save money. Quintrex boats are Rubbish and my advice to anyone is not to buy small boats built by them. I’m selling because the hull is like a can of coke very thin. My next boat will be the 5m whitepointer because no Timber and will be my first ever fibreglass boat. From a Aitutaki Cook Islander

[@kizzjd9578]

I agree, cracked 2 telwater hulls in 2 years. Finally got a foam core infused glass boat now.
