Hi all, I'm looking for a new boat and the one that i keep going back to is a 2011 Stessco Renegade 452 side console with a 2011 Mercury 2 stroke 50hp. The hull is 3mm plate. Has anyone had any experience with these hulls and motors?
Cheers, TT

I cant comment on the hull but I have a 60h/p 2 stroke Mercury which is the same as the 50/hp just ported bigger I believe and I cant fault it she hasnt missed a beat.

BTW its up for sale its in the classified's if you want a bit bigger hull and a bit more horse power.

Thanks mate, i just took a look at your boat and if i was after a center console and not side console I'd be very keen.
Cheers TT

No experience with the renegade but my 4.5 my bluefin Predator with a 60hp 2 stroke mariner(merc) has been faultless for 7 hrs and nearly 800 hrs of use if that helps at all , but I did put a new floor in it last year ..... Matt

Thanks bluefin, I know that both stessco and mercury have had bad reports in the past but I've been tol told by a few people that this is no longer the case as both have picked up their act considerably. I'm impressed with the package that I have so far been offered and will negotiate further before committing as well as looking at more options this coming week.
Cheers TT
