what would max speed be roughly? nice lookin rig
I have a 150 on my hull, which is glass, but is +300kg heavier than the stabi. its plenty of power 79km/h top speed +2km/L fuel consumption. youd get away with a 130hp on that hull easily.
My old man has a 609 Supercab with 150 Honda, goes like the clappers. Needs trim tabs.
From what I remember of my 609HT w/- F150, it topped out a bit better than 36knots for 60 litres an hour. I could get it down to about 16-17 litres an hour at 3600rpm for just on the plane but mostly clean plane at 21 litres an hour and a fast cruise for 23-24 litres an hour.
Wow! thats not what I would have expected. I get 42 knots out of my 150, but those fuel figures are pretty similar. from what I can see about the 609, my hull is 300kg heavier.

Smithy's numbers are good, my olf fellas 609 BMT gross is right on 2 tonne, trailer = steel belco with some fuel and gear in the boat.
I've never worried about the fuel coz its his shout in his boat!!

cheers thats the kind numbers i was thinking thanks
From a trip out yesterday.
Stabicraft 2100 Supercab with 150F Yamaha, usual fishing days weight on board
153 Km travelled, 99 litres fuel used
Came home at 30 knots @ 5000rpm
How are you finding it compared to the bigger platey?
You can't beat length when travelling through chop, it hits the second wave much harder than the 8 metre But it definitely cuts the water better. Losing a metre and a half of deck is a big loss too.
I love the broad shoulders on the front and the size is far more manageable when out on my own. I had it right out of the water a couple of times yesterday when travelling along and hit swell waves that were standing up a bit just north of Moreton Island. It definitely lands better than the flatter bottom 8 metre.
With the deeper vee it does bob a bit more but I am getting used to it.
Build quality is fantastic, as you would expect for what they ask for them.
So far I am very very happy with it.
I only wish it had a bigger fuel tank, they offer a tank extension but it was thousands for an extra 50 litres.
And I wish I had ordered the optional sliding side windows, with all that glass it is a very hot cabin.
The newer ones the side windows open up a lot better. Mine only opened about 4" and only on the drivers side. I just had a 12V fan I would plug in. I didn't find it too bad. I always reckoned with the dark carpet lining that the heat got sucked into the dark stuff and didn't bounce around inside the cabin. I have cut two Bomar hatches into my current hard top on my current boat for ventilation. They work awesome. I haven't ever felt the need to put a fan in this boat.
