I’d like to see a bigger model with higher sides for more offshore ability. Something similar to a sportsman island reef19. These ones would make great estuary/impoundment boats
@Steve Morgan (3:52) not all Chinese made stuff is "rubbish", there's heaps of locally and imported fibreglass hulls and accessories from other countries that's equally deserved of that comment! Soon the Chinese will produce a better quality product and ship it to Australia at half the cost! Look at Japan and how far their marine products have come!
IMO a used boat at this price point is a better option + get higher sides on the boat. BTW the bean bag for $250..........I want what they are smokin. If people will pay that then hats off.
You said cheap Chinese rubbish? I agree with some of the products from China is not good, but please also look at the price, the cheap products is for the one who don't want to pay that much, and to satisfy the different buyers from the market. Please change the interviewer if you want people believe in your review/report.
Omfg, 12k for a tinny with no seat or engine. Sorry guys, what market are you aiming for ? If the boat was maybe 3k then had add ons I could understand. But if someone really wanted a high end tinny, why would they buy an overpriced under specification plastic tinny then have to spend thousands more just so it was functional? Would they just buy an actual boat for the same price ? Your business model doesn't make sense, but I wish you all the best 👌
Great concept. The 485 is well known to be a brilliant hull. Would love to see them drop a larger hull into the lineup.
That beanbag is a great idea!

That would be perfect
That's exactly what these are - inshore boats. We are sure if their concept takes off there will be other hulls introduced to the range.
Cant wait for a 17ft and 18ft version
For sure - even if they made this one with more freeboard I'd consider it for light offshore work

Correct, although there is that perception in the marketplace for plenty of poorly made boating accessories.
Hi Guys
I have an SCBX similar to the mint green one. Can i ask what bimini top you went with on yours please?
really cool.. touch more freeboard would be awesome
Awesome idea.. no rod holders in the gunwales?
Like most options, we're sure that there is an upgrade to solve the problem!
I wonder what happened with this… it seemed like a good idea
definitely needs higher sides and use a 25 inch prop for a tiller.
Hai, Brother...what size that boat??
Much better option than a tinny.

That's everyone's initial impression, but they struggle to keep up with demand!
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
It’s a 485sf made by Haines signature..all those option were available 10 years ago. Can’t see what’s so new..
You're allowed to screw them in yourself.
make them in the us

Everyone is entitled to their opinion. Thank you for expressing yours!

they break down bit by bit what market its targets at..did you watch the video and also listen to what was said? or just look at the pictures?..ffs
I think the pricing is more than reasonable, considering a 4.6 mt tinny with a 60 HP is in the 25 - 30 k range.
Name a brand new 4.7-4.9m tinny hull you can buy for 3k?
Hint: there is none. They start at the same price bare hull.....
@@cobbyyak second hand Chinese boat maybe?
