What a fantastic aluminum fishing machine. I have a 15' aluminum v hull fishing boat that was bought in 2008 and I have fished it extensively on big lakes for trout, bass, and perch where I live in the US. I wish we had access to boats like yours here where I live...your aluminum boats just seem to be set up so much better than ours. The cost keeps me from buying something newer but a fisherman can dream...
What a great boat ! Only thinv I would change is move the console up to the casting deck so you will heve room to fish from te back. 😊 For the rest, great boat !!
There is heaps of room in n the back mate. I remove the lean seat and it has more space than most five metre boats. Also it rides unbelievable well due to weight being central- if it was further forward it would change the boat completely and make the boat ride much harder.
Great hulls. Have the 449 outlaw.. Also incredibly dry offshore. It's not so much the weight distribution, but simply a nice flared bow and chine combined with being light enough. They do slam at the rear if you overdo it it but that's the price you pay for the stability I guess. To be honest id be happy if the stern was a little deeper v'd because I feel it is so flat that at rest it throws you around too much (ie, it reacts to every bit of chop, instead of rolling slowly like a deeper v'd hull. ) Great boat though.
@@officialWWM yes they are stable but you feel every little roll because you are sitting on top of the water essentially. A deeper Hull gives a different motion which is less tiring. Flatter hulls are super stable on flat water but the motion on lumpy stuff is very abrupt. Same goes for yachts-at an anchorage have a look at the motion of a more modern Hull type (flattish bottom), versus a heavy older yacht both slacker bilges (deeper bottom)..;the difference is the newer boat will sway violently with the swell and the older boat sway slowly and predictably. The newer flatter Hull will be stiffer (more stable) and the older boat will sway slightly more sometimes, but the motion is different, and more comfortable on the older deeper heavier boat.
I've been looking at this in the 449 size My issue is how quickly the floors are rotting out. Telwater are not using sealed timber so within two years the floors are shot
@leeraynerfishing awesome thanks I shall call them .. lol you'd think they would come with them by now . How have you found that boat so far . Only have about 15 hrs on mine so far but love it
You've never had a stacer with a ply floor have you haha. Read any comments on Stacer owners pages. Mine showed signs of rot 7 months in and I actually don't even hose it out.@@officialWWM
Hi Lee, Could I get more info on the stool you are using please? Height , brand …etc I’ve been looking for one but the ones I’ve looked at are all soft and short … Love your set up !! Thank you
It’s an argument so many people say - till they fish in my boat mate. It’s got room on both sides to fish and you can stand and drive when it’s rough and also distribute weight to get a good ride. Saying that side console is also very handy
They are short legs that go into the rod holders and attached the Scotty holders to them - Scotty used to make them and I’ve been trying to find more for years but they don’t appear to make them anymore, which is a bummer as they are so handy
G’day Lee, I have been looking at the same boat for a while now . I would like to fit a 12 inch sounder , did you have to reinforce the console to hold the bracket? I measured a console on a crossfire recently and it was to small to flush mount the 12 inch . Great work on the channel, I am really enjoying it . cheers
@@leeraynerfishing Thanks for the reply Lee ! I actually ended up flush mounting a hds 12 Turns out Telwater have a bracket . If i had my time again though I would do what you have done. Hey side note , come Tuna and king season I love to see you make a video of it going out the heads or Jigging in the Rip ? , Mabey not though 😂?
Command thrust is a bit of a gimmick, yes you have a different ratio gearbox. But you also increase the prop diameter because of this and on a 90hp CT they just use restrictor and a different tune so you don't even really get the torque of the in restricted 2.1l. Basically long story short just get highest horsepower in the merc line up or go Yamaha.

Thanks for the kind words mate. I’m sure your boat catches them just as good
Nice set up. Good choice of motor, I have the 115hp on my 490 Renegade.
Very nice boat Lee
Awesome setup mate!

That makes no sense, a flatter hull is much more stable at recast.

Lee where ya been!! I hope you put more up on youtube!
I've been looking at this in the 449 size

Lee older video i know but would you remember where the scuppers come from i have the same hull new and cannot find those online
They are telwater brand scuppers mate.
They just drain into the hull and then pumped out with bilge
@leeraynerfishing awesome thanks I shall call them .. lol you'd think they would come with them by now .
How have you found that boat so far . Only have about 15 hrs on mine so far but love it
Fantastic mate I subscribed 👍
What would the overall cost be for the boat,trailer and outboard?
Like the centre console idea.
wondering the same thing to buy as a pakige
Same that thing is mint
Did you replace the factory ply flooring? Or if not have you had issue with it getting wet and rotting away?
I think it’s way too new to have rotted away yet 😂 Besides, marine ply will last for years!
You've never had a stacer with a ply floor have you haha. Read any comments on Stacer owners pages. Mine showed signs of rot 7 months in and I actually don't even hose it out.@@officialWWM
@@garybass9692 wow, they must be using construction ply 😂
@@cammocammo8848 it’s fresh water that rots timber, not saltwater!
Hi Lee,
Could I get more info on the stool you are using please? Height , brand …etc I’ve been looking for one but the ones I’ve looked at are all soft and short …
Love your set up !!
Thank you
It’s just from telwater mate.
The post comes fairly long so you can cut it down to a lower height if needed
@ thank you 👍
Hi Lee. Love the boat and the colour. Do you know the paint code for that colour please. Just about to paint a new sea jay 370 high side.
I’m not sure of the exact colour mate but you will be able to find it on the stacer website
@@leeraynerfishing thanks for that.
Side console in a small boat all day long. Great set up though. Tight lines
It’s an argument so many people say - till they fish in my boat mate.
It’s got room on both sides to fish and you can stand and drive when it’s rough and also distribute weight to get a good ride.
Saying that side console is also very handy
Hi Lee, where did you get the sports console from ? looking at converting my side console to a centre
It’s from stacer
Hey lee what are you using to have the scotty rod holder in the rod tube at the back there. ?
They are short legs that go into the rod holders and attached the Scotty holders to them - Scotty used to make them and I’ve been trying to find more for years but they don’t appear to make them anymore, which is a bummer as they are so handy
@@leeraynerfishing yes i know what you mean thank you
Hi Lee, where did you order the hull though? Apparently no one in Qld dose the crossfire and centre console only side
Yeah for some reason they stopped doing it, even though they have had a lot of enquires about it 🤦♂️
Freaking awesome 😎👍
thanks mate its really the ultimate tinny - i live it every time i use it
I have a 5.2 side console. I rekken what you said about center console. My next boat will be centre consol.
Hi Lee - who did the fit out for you?
Melbourne marine mate
G’day Lee, I have been looking at the same boat for a while now . I would like to fit a 12 inch sounder , did you have to reinforce the console to hold the bracket? I measured a console on a crossfire recently and it was to small to flush mount the 12 inch . Great work on the channel, I am really enjoying it . cheers
Yeah a 12 won’t flush Mount so I reinforced the back and have it on the bracket.

What transducer are you running ? 1kw....? 3-1...?
It’s got a P66 and a 3in 1
The P66 is awesome
100+K on a 481 ??? LOL

Nice one, the reason for moving across from your Evolution CC & any chance of a review on the Evolution CC
The funny suits much better for what I need it to do.
How long is this?
16.2ft (4.95m)
I'm calling my boat "War Machine"
How do I get a quote for an exact duplicate please
Just contact a stacer dealer and I’m sure they can help you out with a quote.
I hope it works out for you as it’s genuinely an amazing boat
Awesome Lee, catchin fish and shit.
That does not look like a smaller boat to me 😂
Pocket Battleship
how much fuel do you carry?
It’s got a 75ltr tank mate
