That grey v17 is sexy and I like the 565L too!

I'm tempted to sell my savage bay runner when it's back from the doctors, and I'll be looking at an old Haines hull.
The turquoise blue 565 with the white 225 Merc? It's even better looking in the flesh. Originally was a clapped out rotted 565F centre console so shows how much work went into that thing
yep! that thing is pure sex on h2o

if it had a jap 4 banger on it, it'd be even better!
Slight bit more torque and zero valve adjustments for life with similar costs and economy... I'd have the odd shaped Merc

My Mercury brings all the fish to the boat and they're like, it's better than yours. Damn right, it's better than yours. I'd give you a ride, but I'd have to charge

I just found out it was possible to giggle and cringe at the exact same time

Perhaps join the Old School Haines Boats group on FB, they organize the get together. There's a couple of other HH groups to which are good if you own one or like them.

Thanks for the tip mate! Joining now.

This is one of the few things I enjoy about having Facebook back
