John Haines Snr, the founder of the iconic Haines Hunter and Signature boat brands, passed away on Saturday. It is understood Haines Snr had been battling cancer. On behalf of the staff at John Crawford Marine we pass on our deepest condolenses to the Haines family.

A true icon of the Marine Industry, John Haines has certainly left his impression on many, including staff and customers that enjoyed using their Haines Boats and were loyal to the brand. John Crawford Marine has been selling used Haines Boats since 1964 and looking though the decades of photos it is evident of a man whos passion and skill in building fine boats can be seen.

The Haines family has respectfully requested that no flowers be sent. Donations can be made to the palliative care section of the Wesley Hospital (details below) to assist them with their incredible selfless work.
