mrelxr6 Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 hi guys.i have been looking for a new open tinnie and i have narrowed it down to either a stacer 4.29 sea horse.with 30hp yamaha . or a allycraft 4.1 rhino with a 30 hp mercury. boat will be used for a lot of bay and river and the odd outside work when weather permits. both boats are very similar in stats and price.1 is from a large dealer the other from a smaller dealer...im bloody confused,,any help would be great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nooooooooooooooooooooooo. If your experience is like mine (admittedly a S/H unit) you will get sick of driving back down the M/F5 freeway repeatedly to get work redone Mate go to Craig at Huett for the Stacer. The guy is genuine as, is a site sponsor and will look after you. The small HP etecs may even be available now which would be a great motor in a 30 IMHO. And for the record, i am Yamaha nut. Its just after my exprience I would rate dealer trust above anything else in buying a boat! Feel free to PM me if you want to learn of my experiences with the other.

zen801 Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 I agree about having trust in your marine dealer. I bought a quinnie in '99 and still have it and love it. But had problems with the dealer at my first service. Never been back and my neighbour had similar dramas with them. PS Why not consider a Quintrex?

a boat Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 (edited) mate i followed your advise. went on down to hunts marine had a look at the quintrex range and i bought a 4.2 quintrex dory with a 30 hp yamaha.all up $7700 from hunts. very happy.no safety gear(thats ok as i already have it) .pick up hopefully by the weekend or early next week thanks for your help guys allround Hi Nathen, $7,700 is a fair price if it is on the Quintrex trailer with 13 inch alloy wheels, walkway, jockey wheel and bearing buddies all included as well as rego. If not you are paying too much. If it is then I wish you all the best with your new boat and I hope you have many hours of enjoyment out of her. Cheers, Huey.
