MrGenius Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 I have a spare 30hp motor and am looking for an aluminium tinny to suit the motor, only problem being that the motor is a short shaft so the options are somewhat limited. Im after something around 3.8-4.2m so any suggestions of what is around is much appreciated. Not worried about what brand it is or anything like that as long as it can do the job.

a boat Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Hi MrGenius, are you looking for new or second hand? If you are looking at new than Stacer, which is the brand we sell and stock, have S/S boats in the 395 Seasprite or the 399 Proline range that are suitable for 30HP outboards. PM me if you would like prices. At present I do not have anything second hand that would suit. Cheers, Huey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrGenius Posted August 7, 2007 Author Share Posted August 7, 2007 Looking at new only and to suit a short shaft 30hp engine, both of those stacers according to the specs are long shaft motor only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a boat Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Hi Mate, no both the 395 Seasprite and 399 Proline are able to be ordered as either Long shaft or Short shaft. The Proline is a better value boat due to be cheaper and coming STD with bow and side rails. We sell alot more Prolines than Sea-Sprites and they give a better, more stable fishing platform, which will not ride as well as the Sea-Sprite, but the difference is minimal and in truth a 3.90-4.0M should not really go in rough water anyway. If you are wanting new prices of boat with or without trailers contact me, Cheers, Huey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends what year and model the motor is but you can get extensions housings for some. Wreckers may be an oiption just get the complete lower unit off a long or extra long and then you won't limit your boat choice and can get one to suit.
