Nice boat but i recon your trailer is a little small:D

[Captain Chaos]

did you pilfer that trailer from one of ya 14's?

[Jon]

That first pic looks more like a slipper than a boat!

Looks like a calm water boat to me. Ive never seen such a shallow draught hull.

Please give me some tech specs on this boat so i can decide whether or not its worthy of being displayed on this Forum. . . .

well if you dont want to move the winch post you could always move the axles:D

[Jon Fuller]

the boat isn't as far back on the trailer as it looks, the bustles extend a fair way beyond the transom, so moving it fwd 12-18 inches would probably be plenty

this is correct, 18" as i recall on the last one we did.

the engine only protrudes about 3" past those rear pads.

What length is it and whats the deadrise? Got any more pics of it, underside? Have you run it yet, what engine and what speed?
Lastly, whats the price ?

Thanks, Alan :)

[Gav]

21' LOA
Deadrise = dunno not measured it! will do soon.....
Under hull pics , erm? i have somewhere but i,ll have to find cd.
there are more pics on readers rides boatmad home

price = I,m always open 4 a deal:drain:

Its a Haines Signature 1900s, designed by ski racer John Haines.

[Gav]

Mike K will give you speeds etc, he has one up and running, mike give us an opinion on the 1900?

[mike k]

Hi Gav, I've had mine over 10 years now so that must say something. (and before you lot comment it's not because I can't sell it ) Last summer it ran at 61mph (gps) with a full tank and 5 adults on board. That was with a 2.5 Merc (carb) and 21'' laser,which I don't think is bad considering it's a very heavy boat. I'm thinking of changing the under floor 165 litre stainless fuel tank for a smaller plastic/fiberglass one to lose some of the weight, can anybody reccomend a good supplier?
Gav, I'll take those pictures of the interior for you when I can get my arse in gear.
Are you going to put the vent in your hull ?

I still looking for the inner mouldings for an alien hood if anyone can supply them.

[Gav]

Cheers Mike,
I'm going to run it without the vent in place for a while and see how it performs, then at a later date i might fit it up and see what difference it makes, be good one day to get together and try eachothers to see what the difference actually is............

I have used a 166 ltr ally tank and running with 200 mariner, need to get a prop is the 21" a good all round?

gav

[Captain Chaos]

I got one one me 200 and it seems to work just fine

[mike k]

The 21'' Laser works fine. It's pulling 6100 and I use a 21'' High five for skiing.
My old 2.4 pulled 6500/6600 all day long but I don't know what I can safely max at on my 2.5. Is your 200 2.4 or 2.5 ?. Any mods ?
I need to know what the competitions running :laugh:

[sinkunit0]

i rev my 2.5 200 to about 6400. it seems ok. i don,t keep it there for long runs about 8mins max. i,m told that much above that you should pre mix your oil. also your pistons may detonate. look on screamandfly there lots on this

[mike k]

Gav here's the pic's of my Signature interior. It's not looking it's best I'm afraid, I towed it back from La Manga at the end of August, flushed the engine put the cover back on and there it's sat.

Got any running pics of one?

Do you have the molds for this boat?

hydro,

i,m popping a 200 mariner on it, i have some pics ill attatch one that is mikek's on this forum. And yes i have the moulds!:up:

[kiwiracer]

what are the moulds for a signature doing in england?

[Hydrostream]

Shetland boats (UK Co.) wasbuilding them for a while. Not sure if they still are!

Kiwiracer: you ever run one of these, what kinda speed did it go, what power etc?

Alan

[kiwiracer]

funnily enough i have driven one
unfortunately it had a V8 Johnson on it and was a bit of a handfull
did well in the 70's though
i think you would find that it would go well with V6 power
they perform in the rough:up:

[Johnny Rocket]

OK, so what are the pro's and con's of a dirty great notch like that?

An where do you measure the deadrise? ;)

Kiwiracer, hi, what hp and weight is a v8 johnson!
when you say was a bit of a handfull do you mean the boat gerally or the fact it had this V8 on it?

I was suprised that it performs well in the rough.
The signature is not a very photogenic boat so it is quite deceving, it looks very very shallow like a lake boat but infact is quite the opposite!

Any other info you have to share is much appreciated........

Cheers

i took the deadrise off the original Haines brochure!:hugegrin:

[mike k]

Gav I've found that if you keep on the power she goes really well in the rough otherwise they do tend to slam a bit.

[Crusader]

Hey that is copyright theft!!! :)

But I forgive - after all everybody can purchase a Yamaha Steering wheel. My pic is nicer though:D

I have been away for quite a long time because I have exams and I am on leave from work, I am studying 8 hours a day and my boat is high on bricks at the moment to save the trailer rubber suspensions. I'll finish the university course in late June and before then she is not coming off those bricks.

Anyway hello to everyone from sunny Malta, and Happy new Year even if I'm late (i know)

Just found this , sounds like your boat Mike K???

'No Fear'




I bought No Fear back in 1994, she

had led a hard and abused life and

was badly neglected and in need of a

lot of tlc (indeed I spent a day

scrubbing and cleaning her before she

was presentable enough to take home).




The first time we saw this design of

boat was back in 1990 at Thorpe Park

on one of the Sportsboat Magazine's

demo days. We blagged a test run as a

potential customer and were

astonished at her performance but

never dreamt that one day we would

own one.




She is an Australian designed Haines

Signature 1900s built under licence in

the UK by Shetland Boats, with a

length of 21' and a beam of 6'6". The

engine is a Mariner 200 with a 23" High 5 prop used for general use and a 19" Laser 11 for skiing. She has seen plenty of 'action' on lakes, rivers and the coast and has handled all that was thrown at her very well. The shape of the hull gives a stable but firm(ish) ride at slow speeds but softens the faster you go, and she corners as if on rails.

This year we trailed her down to The Mar Menor (La Manga) in Southern Spain along with Wayne Kerr and her crew and had the best holiday ever, sun, sea, sangria and good company, an excellent combination.

I can't see us parting with No Fear, unless you know of anyone who wants to swap a 23' Phantom with a 300 strapped to the back !!! To save on prop changes I am selling the two props that are mentioned above to finance a new 21" High 5. If anyone is interested please get in touch.

[mike k]

Blimey , that was something I wrote to The Pathfinder Powerboat Club a few years ago for their newsletter. Where the f$%k did you find that ?

[mike k]

Unfortunately not, but I'm positive Motorboats Monthly did a feature in 1999/2000 , I tried for ages to get a copy but had no luck.
Maybe the Capt has one amongst his pile of Rubber Users Monthly and Deviants Weekly magazines.:boobs:

thanks for the info today mike, the dash is now in and bonded! looks good....

no not cored, kept it nice n basically straight forward!

Derakine?, i can find out for you...... ill see if Scott bader do it

:up:

[Hydrostream]

Cool, whats the schedual in the bottom of the hull and you have any idea what the bare boat weighs? Not important just curious!

I tried Scott Bader for the derakane, they dont do it but can get it @ min. quantity 100kg

It's not important either, if you think of anywhere that might do it could you let me know. Thanks.

The resin is Dow Derakane 8084-P, I want to skin coat the entire boat before I recore it and put in the transom. So I'll probably need about 10kg

They are up into the high 70s 78-79 & looking to see 80 they are a bunch off mad dirt bike riders from tassy last I spoke with them they were running a 25 laser ! but the poor old girl has had a few repairs since they have been running it I think it was only layed up as a social boat !

[Gav]

thats shiftin! what do you reckon to the 2100s? it was awarded boat of the year in '88 ?

[spinaltap]

The 2100s has been used a lot over here in offshore racing they seem to go quite well but to be honest the haines hunter constant deadrise hulls i.e 1800so & 2100so have been more sucessfull than the variable deadrise hulls but i dont know if you would have any of them over there. I suppose we do more smooth water stuff over here so the boats with large planks on them are popular.Having said that I have driven a 2100s with a 2.4 bridgeport on it and saw about 70 over anything you could throw at it !

Great info!

To me the 2100s 's hull, although similar to the 1900s, looks very nice, however the deck moulding is boring and would need modernising! Combining the looks of the 1900s with the 2100s would be interesting i think..........

:D

[spinaltap]

Yeah the 1900s is very sexy in the deck dept a lot like my Bullet hull. The 2100s has a pretty boring alloy framed screen. Sounds like you are the man for the job Gav you dont happen to have a 2100s mould lurking over there as well do ya ? If not I know where there is one over here you might have to have a holliday to Aus !!!!!!

[Gav]

you mean this one:D

Leave it out Lanky.......Imagine how cool i'd have looked, picture the scene:

I roll up to the boatpark in Essex, my freshly prepared Tangerine Beast slips softly from its 'old gold' metalflake trailer into the crystal clear waters that is the thames estuary.

With a gentle sweep of the incoming tide; the floating phalis turns side-on to reveal its name whilst Capt Chaos starts the motor. The roar of the 225 horses encased in its onyx black cage draws yet more attention from the unlooking crowd.

With the big motor purring, Chaos pumps up the sound system, unleashing a bit of Nile Rodgers or 'yes sir, i can boogie'........Then, without warning, he drops the hammer; placing his size 10 kippers firmly on the big red GO button!

And off they head, wind in their hair.....together Slug & Chaos.



Have i changed your mind?
