Re: Haines Hunter 400 Sea Wasp
Boat looks a million bucks. Just got a few questions though.
What was the strengthening work done by Haines?
How's the 2 banger on fuel?
Is the permatrim a necessity or more a fix for a minor lift problem?
Did you have a tank put in under the floor or are you running a tote in the bilge area?
Yes, I'm 95% ditching the kayak for a wasp

Re: Haines Hunter 400 Sea Wasp
Looks good.
Do you think there would be enough space to fit a small centre-console/canopy?

The 400 Prowler is the same boat only with a factory centre console -mingle wrote:Looks good.

Re: Haines Hunter 400 Sea Wasp
Man, i really got to come and do a test run comparison of my smartwave 4.2 against this and see how it fares.
similar in price range, size and intended fishing purposes.

Re: Haines Hunter 400 Sea Wasp
haha dude, no not racing or anything like that, i just wanted to see what this boat is like compared to what i have , because i did consider a prowler at one stage.
More so im interested in seeing how stable the boat is at rest and underway, comfort level, noise levels at rest
I fish lures mainly from my boat and stability at rest is of utmost importance to me (hence one of the reasons I went the smartwave eventually)
I am well aware of the popularity of the wasp/prowler hence why I was wanting to have a comparison.
No stress if your not keen mate, don’t want to force anyone to do anything.
cheers
