when you are designing the boat with chris, he will give you a price for each and every option you choose, starting with the hull and adding motor, jack plate, hyd steering, gps, trolling motor, custom seats, cleats, radio, vhf, etc...
in the end, i didn't feel like i was paying an unreasonable price for any single line item. fit and finish may not be that of a yellowfin, but it is very well done. all consoles are glassed to the floor, all wiring is clean and accessible. plus, the customer service can't be beat.

I didn't know that Haynies were all wood...... I had considered them and do like the boats. But that $$$$$ for a boat made of wood and then covered with fiberglass...... No way.
For that money I'll get a 240 triton and have 10k left over.

Haynie is great boat! But has the fad of the "hot" boat on the market right now.....getting that price for rolled edge boats is amazing. More power to Chris for making a good product. The cost of new engines is getting out of hand too. So those 2 mixed together make for some steep prices.

They certainly are great boats, and would not be ashamed to own one. very sleek,dry,solid built vessels. I do feel they are over priced considering a wood core, rolled top, and plastic hardware, but beauty and price is in the eyes of the beholder. I have seen a couple on the water that have caught my attention, and rode in one last fall, and can say that they are nice, but still dont see how they are as highly priced as a fully composite kevlar lined hull with a first class fit and finish! To everyone his own, and if they sell for that price, and people are willing to pay it then so be it. Just not my cup of tea.

Of the boats I have owned or driven (blue wave, xpress, skeeter, nautic star, sea pro, triton) none can come close to the ride of my Haynie. 2 weeks ago I crossed big lake with a 25mph wind and not one drop of water on me. I have not had an opportunity to ride in a blackjack but I understand that they are great boats.
I do think that they are a bit overpriced given the reasons discussed above but they are the "hot" boat right now and with demand as high as it is, that probably will not change in the near future. The only thing I would change from my purchase is that I would have bought a Yamaha. I may trade it and do exactly that next summer.

I agree with all of the above posters, I would assume/guess that Chris makes much more per boat than a liner boat builder which does not seem reasonable. That being said, people are selling one to two year old Haynie's on here and on 2 cool for $40,000 to $43,000 at a very good clip so the resale of these boats is much higher than you would expect. Right now it is more about supply and demand than anything we can explain with a logical cost analysis. The same can be said for the price of gas right now. The extraction costs and processing are no where close to a $3.25 per gallon level but we pay it and as a result E&P comapneis and refiners make more per barell of crude now than they did 15 years ago.

Look at the design all decks are cut square no curves they very easy to cut and cheap
to make labor and wood, I guess the high resale value is because Houston may be the highest place on the Gulf coast to buy a boat new or used boat without question. If the boat was lined and had a good finish with high quality hardware the price tag at 40,000 to 50,000 would be more in line.

Chris better make his $$$$$ now.
Cause in 10-12 years that lifetime warranty will b eating his azz up!! Wood & water don't mix!!!! I don't care what it's sealed or covered with!!! U can cover a terd with gold..... But it's still a terd. Haynie boats are a good ride, fishability is great & speed is awsome..... But the materials & finish @ any $$$$ keep me from Gettin one

A big factor in my buying decsion was how long I planned to keep the boat. Several Guides are buying these boats and never keep them more than two years. I will keep my boat 1-3 years so it dosen't matter if it lasts 10 years to me or not.
This perceived huge profit margin creates an entry point for someone else to one day come in at a lower price given the profit that has to be in this boat. Right now people really like/want the boat so Chris can charge whatever he wants, good for him.

Totally see Ur point. But what if the resale of these 40-50k boats drops 20-30% in the next 3-4 years. I certainly don't think the fad will last long and eventually all the owners will sell their haynie. When I buy my next boat I plan to keep it for a while. Which is why triton is the top on my list.
