Ally Craft vs Quintrex vs Sea Jay vs Stessl

[flat-head]

Looking to buy a new boat. I can't split between Ally Craft 3.75 Cody - Quintrex 375 Dart - Sea Jay 3.7 Nomad and Stessl 3.80 Heavy Duty Edge Vee dinghy.

Would like feedback of pros and cons of each boat from previous and current owners.

To be powered by a Tohatsu 2 stroke 18hp with foils.

To be used mainly in rivers and estuaries in Shoalhaven region and occasionally sheltered water such as Jervis Bay

Would welcome any constructive comments and opinions on subject.

Thanks

flat-head,
There used to be a write-up on the Stessl website from Barry Lyon about his 3.7HD Edge Vee dinghy. #Running with 18 Tohatsu. #

Cheers mate

Thanks bushbeat
Read it but wasn't sure if legit or manufacted by manufacturer

I agree with you mate. It's hard to tell. On another line of thought, Kingtin (Kev) has a 3.95 Stacer Seasprite with 25 Merc that he swears by. If you send him a pm he'll reply.
