Stacer Outlaw 429
Traded in the Quintrex for a new Stacer Outlaw 429 with Evinrude 50 hp at Huett Marine. I highly recommend them as they are great people to deal with and very knowledgeable.
The other choice was a Quintrex 420SC Renegade which is nearly the same boat. One of the reasons I chose the Outlaw is it is a little deeper.
I really like the 3mm top and bottom aluminum, clean layout and the side console. It is quite a bit heavier than the old boat and hence gives a much better ride in the chop. There is lots of room for storage in the front casting deck, and a live-bait tank in the rear. Will give more details of the boat as it is customised. Richard at http://www.mystaceroutlaw449.com gives good information on what he did with his Stacer Outlaw 449.
This is the first fish caught. Since the legal limit for mulloway has been increased to 70cm, it went back.

Trailer tyre is a 155R13LT. Pressure should be minimum 40 lb/sq in preferably 50. (Should be a HT Holden bearing with 64mm stud spacing).
Trailer 30/10/2024 Just was I was wondering whether or not I should replace the tyres, the right had a crack near the valve. Bought 2 new wheels and tyres from https://sunriseint.com.au/. They were Galvanised 155R13C (commercial rather than light truck) and were $104 each. The Stacer trailer indeed had a Holden HT stud pattern. The tyres came inflated to 46 psi.
The stud size is 7/16” and the lug nuts should be torqued to 70-80 ft lbs. The tightening sequence is here https://www.tirerack.com/upgrade-garage/how-do-i-properly-torque-my-wheel-lug-nuts-or-bolts.
Battery Evinrude ETEC 640 CCA (800 MCA) (actually it was supplied with a CCA550 battery which has worked well for 4.5 years)
