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 !

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..........

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 !!!!!!

Just been to the New Zealand boat show.
Haines Signature had a boat on the stand that they are calling the 640SS, looked a lot like your boat
It was red with a 225hp 3 litre Merc.
