bisso Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Looking at the hull shape, it reminds me a bit of the Haines Hunter type. if you have a picture of the back showing the hull it would help. this shape was however copied by a lot of makers as it was a timeless design and hence the other makers mimicking it. best form of flattery!! not sure about the cabin section though, i have a Haines V146c half cabin, the hull looks similar but the cabin is completely different. probably doesnt help you much though!!

Blackfish Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Looks like a Milligan Nipper. Great boat in their day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce the Postie Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Thats no Nipper. It looks a bit like some form of Haines knock off.Looks ok and should go alright as well. Cheers, Bruce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nipper Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Funny i was doing a search on here for info on Milligan nippers and this came up. The guy that used to own that boat was in my fishing club back on the central coast back in the late 80's early 90's. Never knew what sort it was but some of the other guys end up with the molds and built three that i know of. there is a few getting around coffs harbour in the ealry 2000's when they built them. Not sure of brand but i went fishing few times in one and it was pretty nice boat the ones they built. im not in australia at the moment but i can ask my mate who knows the guy who had one built for him self and only sold it in the least few years as it was getting to big for him i will keep you posted if i find anything out.

zmk1962 Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 The hull shape looks very much like a Savage Avalon (google and look at images). But the top side is quite different though. May have had some custom work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a boat Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Hi, in the photos the chines and strakes look very Haines Hunter to me but the deck does not so it is most likely a brand, that is no longer around today, that flopped some mould years ago. If it is based on a HH hull the ride should be good and the old V4 will perform well on it. Being a cuddy cabin, more than a half cabin that was more popular back in the day the cockpit looks to offer a good usable area. At the end of the day if the floor, transom and overall condition of the boat is good she will give you and your family many hours of enjoyment, which is what boating is all about. Cheers, Huey.
