2013 Haines Hunter SF485 Sport Fisher – Compact, Capable, and Ready for Adventure

If you’re in the market for a used boat for sale in NZ that offers exceptional quality, comfort, and performance in a compact package, this 2013 Haines Hunter SF485 Sport Fisher deserves your attention. Perfect for fishing trips, family days out, or leisurely cruising, this well-maintained boat is ready for more adventures — and with just 14 hours on the clock, it’s as close to new as you’ll find in a used boat.

Renowned for their legendary ride and superior build quality, Haines Hunter has a long-standing reputation in New Zealand boating, and the SF485 is one of the most popular models in the lineup. Combining a deep-vee hull design with clever features and a spacious cockpit, it’s the ideal all-rounder for Kiwi conditions.

Powerful, Reliable Yamaha Performance

This boat is powered by a Yamaha F70hp 4-stroke outboard, one of the most fuel-efficient and dependable engines in its class. With just 14 running hours, the motor is barely run in and offers plenty of reliable, economical power for years to come. The Yamaha’s smooth, quiet performance makes every outing more enjoyable, whether you’re heading out early for a morning fish or taking the family for an afternoon cruise.

The hull is just under 5 metres long, making it easy to tow, launch, and store while still providing enough space onboard for fishing or family fun. The boat sits proudly on its trailer and is ready to hitch up and head straight to the ramp.

The Legendary Haines Hunter Ride

One of the standout features of this boat is the ride quality. Thanks to its proven deep-vee hull design, the SF485 offers exceptional stability, handling, and comfort on the water. Whether you’re crossing a busy harbour, heading up the lake, or navigating choppier conditions, you’ll appreciate how dry, stable, and confidence-inspiring this boat feels.

The compact footprint makes it perfect for solo launching or smaller tow vehicles, while still offering plenty of usable space onboard. It’s a fantastic option if you’re moving up from a tinny or downsizing from a larger boat but still want a capable, well-built vessel.

Built Tough, Designed Smart

The gelcoat finish is in great condition, and as with all Haines Hunters, the boat features the standard brass keel strip to protect the hull during beach landings and regular use. These are little details that make a big difference over time, showing the thought and craftsmanship that goes into every Haines Hunter boat.

Onboard, the spacious cockpit and clever layout make the most of the available space. There’s plenty of room to fish comfortably or bring the family out for a day on the water, with storage and seating arranged for maximum usability.
