Time for a new tinny - advice/recommendations welcomed

[Birdhouse01]

Hi all,

the time has come to get rid of my old 12ft clark cutter and invest in a new hull. :D

Northside Marine recommend the Stacer Proline range as i'm more of a crabber then fisherman.

looking for any feedback on this brand or other suggestions please.

Thanks

Gees, the old Clark's were great boats. Why replace it?

[Birdhouse01]

Hey Finga - It's at the end of it's life span and i have the wife's ok to upgrade.

Hi BH1

How much is a Proline on a trailer?
What motor are you looking at or keeping yours?

G'day Chimo

I'm keeping my current motor, as it is only 12 months old and i reckon my trailer has a few more years left it in.

They have $1860 on the 399 proline hull and for some reason the 370 proline lists at only $30 less then the 399.

Go and see the boys at cunninghams they have got the brookers and allycraft range and i think they are much better value imo.

G'day,

There's still a lot of lonely looking Quintrex in the yard at Crew Marine at Redcliffe. Might be a value buy in there. A Stacer by any othe name is a Quintrex.

Go for a plastic hull and avoid all corrosion problems ever.
Seems to be a fair selection on the market now.

Birdhouse my (other) tinny is a 395 proline with 30 2str suzi & cant hurt it prefect for crabbing and macky chasing in close;) 3/5 Ks seems to be made better than certain others>:( !!
