Reflex boats
Submitted by _cliff on Sat, 2016-07-23 17:08
bought a Reflex Chianti 635 a few weeks ago, NZ made (John Haines hull; reflex make the Haines Signatures in NZ). I've owned a few boats in my time but have to say this is a corker! 7m LOA, 150 Merc 4 stroke. Jumps straight out of a hole onto the plane (never experienced this is a largish boat before). Plenty of deck space, perfect fishing boat. Big thanks to Hitech Marine as they were fantastic, best boating purchase experience I have had, nothing too much trouble.

Congrats mate. Those 150 Merc 4strokes are awesome from all reports. Heaps of torque from a 4-cylinder

Took her out to 80m on
Took her out to 80m on Sunday morning, easterly picked up to about 20 knots when we had been out there for a while, pretty impressed when we decided to head back in only a few sprays to the face (trimmer was on hols when I bought the boat, but took her in for clears this week). I'll keep an eye on the supports, cheers

gee cliff sounds like a great boat - can you post a pic? -
I used to think hitech were ok too - until they started posting glowing self reviews on this site...
which apart from being a bit underhand kinda sux for the site sponsors who put their hand in their pocket to support this site

What was the overall price
Was the 705 Hard Top much more expensive?
Actually what was the drive away price on the 635?
