Qld's Used Boat Specialists since 1964 - Celebrating 60 years.

Isn't this Signature 495F from the Haines group simply stunning?

The dual colour of the blue above and below the gunnel simply “Pops” and how well have the designers incorporated stylish lines, functional seating and sunshade? No wonder Haines Signature boats are regarded as one of Australia’s leading boat builders.

First Impressions

JCM team have been working hard to source some incredible trailer boats and here they come, like this one owner, heavily optioned package that has recorded a low 196 hours of use since being purchased new in November 2017.

Stored undercover and optioned with so many quality upgrades over and above a standard package inc:

• Upgraded outboard from a 70Hp Grey Suzuki to a White DF90A four stroke
• Viper electric anchor winch
• Outriggers
• Quality front, side clears and a storm cover
• Upgraded Lowrance 9” touch screen GPS/Sounder with Platinum Gold mapping card
• Hydraulic steering
• Saltwater deck wash | 50l freshwater bladder and so much more!

At the time of order the boat was upgraded from a standard grey Suzuki 70Hp four stroke to a 90Hp white edition Suzuki outboard that is a perfect match for this hull, with power on hand to push a family up to 5 or even pull the children tubing or on a water ski in the summer fun time.

Our workshop has completed the pretesting and verified the low 196 hours of use on the ECU and further completed the mechanical report for buyer's confidence.

The Suzuki is fuelled via the underfloor fuel tank of approx. 70L capacity and the economy will allow you to explore any corner of the bay in comfort and style.

The engine gauges on the dash were also upgraded from standard analogue to dual Suzuki LCD Multifunction displays and standard steering to a Seastar hydraulic steering system.

As the photos demonstrate, the level of options in this fit out is seldom found on boats this size. The owner demanded the renowned Signature soft fry ride for both comfort of his family when social boating but also just as importantly when fishing the Gold Coast’s offshore fishing grounds.

The helm is well appointed with all the desires of an angler at arm’s reach - from the electric anchor winch, Lowrance 9” colour touch screen GPS/Sounder that includes the Platinum Gold mapping card and has been linked to the Lowrance Active Imaging 3:1 transducer. Also a VHF radio is fitted for on water communications.  

If you enjoy the thrill of fishing offshore and trolling for drag screaming pelagics, this pocket rocket has a set of quality outriggers fitted and to help keep the teak look carpets clean, salt water deck wash system is fitted along with two live bait tanks to keep the livies alive in (one is recirculating)

If out in the darkness, a compliment of lighting options are available to suit the conditions from a cockpit LED flood light, cockpit lighting flush mounted in the side coamings and then further blue LED strip lighting installed under the side pockets… plus a cabin LED light..

Days in the sun enjoying family time, dual batteries of which are of an upgraded deep cycle format providing reassuarnce of your power needs and the two batteries have an emergency parallel system installed int he event of a battery failing.

After a swim or before heading home, switch the Y Valve on the deeck wash to "freshwater" and enjoy a shower from the 50l freshwater bladder also installed! #creaturecomforts

Overhead quality sun covers have been fitted with a bimini and front and side clears as pictured, ideal to use on those cold winter mornings, keeping the cold air off your face!
