Nice little boat love the Haines hunter red

[@AndrewPortway-io6fu]

Wave breakers and bars are a must we go out Noosa bar nice when a wave decides to slurp up the cabin and screen . Nothing worse than getting wet first thing in the early morning

[@ME-qq2dc]

Looks like you wouldn't see anything driving seated anyway?

[@BigBopper-zm1kf]

I never understood wave breakers unless you are a pro fisherman. If it's so rough or the bar is ify 🤔 just stay home 😅

Wave breakers have been around for a long time. They were mainly used for rescue boats. Check out some of the old episodes of bay watch. The runabout models really benefit from a wave breaker like the 17r and the 16r as the standard windscreens are way too low with the top being around the waist. Some of the benefits of running a breaker: - no rattles - super strong and can be used as grab rails - can attach outriggers and sounders to it - less sun damage to electronics - if you do stuff the nose into a green wave, you are less likely to have a windscreen on your lap and hundreds of liters of water in the boat.

@@russianbotstein1422 Mate, you've just proved what an absolute lightweight you are. STFU

[@matm6916]

Way more practical dude. Mounting electronics, grab rails, anything else. Way dryer with a deflection lip. Way stronger than a windscreen also. Basically the only thing you lose is the see through aspect. seen as though a 17 is a small boat i utilise eskies for seats anyway so on the move you are standing. Saves heaps of space and way better for fishing and diving

Those thinking 70k is a lot know absolutely nothing about boat refurbs and fitout...personally though I would have went with 150hp

[@madmax3588]

you paid $70 k for that that is crazy try sell that for 50

[@jb243wp]

The whole boat pricing industry has been absolutely crazy since covid and hasn't come back down, and probably won't. But then again compare, well over 200k for a new basic packaged 6mtr vessel that is pretty much a replication of a V19r, yes the new ones have an exceptional unmatched build quality along with a few more added tricks but that's an additional 130k+. If it suits your needs, and one can afford it why not, life is too short, 70k is nothing on a good glass boat, looks like he's having a great time driving that thing and loves it.

I owned a V16R, put 119hrs on it, sold it, hated the ride..

[@russianbotstein1422]

They ride amazing, maybe the driver was the issue
