Skelton 4.5

2019 Skelton 4.5 – Compact, Capable & Ready for Kiwi Waters
Discover the versatile 2019 Skelton 4.5, now available at Haines Hunter HQ. This smart, trailerable runabout is powered by a 2019 Mercury 90 hp 4‑stroke outboard with just 75 hours on the clock—making it a low-use, easy‑to‑manage package for lake and coastal adventures.

Smart Layout & Practical Features
At approximately 4.5 m in length, the Skelton 4.5 is perfectly sized for easy launching, everyday use, and family fun. Its open deck design comfortably accommodates four to five passengers and includes clever storage without unnecessary clutter. Key features include a folding hardtop for shade, a reliable VHF radio and GPS unit for safe navigation, and even a craypot winch—perfect for recreational crayfishing.

Reliable Power & Lightweight Handling
The 90 hp 4-stroke Mercury outboard delivers smooth, quiet performance with excellent fuel efficiency. With only 75 hours of use, it's barely run in. This setup provides quick acceleration, a comfortable cruising speed, and capable handling in choppy conditions. Light enough to tow and launch with ease, it's a great match for summer outings, crayfish runs, or holiday lake missions.

Comfort & Safety Features
The compact hardtop offers weather protection and improved onboard comfort. A small boarding platform at the stern makes swimming or water access simple. Built-in safety features include life jacket storage, grab handles, a bilge pump, and safety cleats—giving you peace of mind while on the water.

Ideal Use
The Skelton 4.5 suits a range of Kiwi boating adventures, from weekend lake trips and crayfishing missions to coastal cruising around sheltered bays. Its well-balanced hull and modest power make it beginner-friendly, while its reliability and features also appeal to experienced boaters looking for a hassle-free, low-hour boat.
