PRED-ATOR Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Hey Raiders, Anyone had any experience with the stessl boats? My mate had the tri hull which banged more than ricky martin. Ive got the formosa 5.20 centre console right now but am looking at a plate boat which i will get for the same price. I do alot of offshore fishing so wanting to know how dry they are and how theyt handle in the rough stuff. Also anyone got any educated opinions on the evinrude E-tec 115. Cheers guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a boat Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Hi, I have some thoughts on the boat and I have some very educated and experienced opinions on the outboard so if you want to know more give me a call. As I say to everyone all clean tech engines are good but for the end user the E-TEC ticks all the boxes, has the best warranty, lowest service costs (which is why some dealers, who have been selling and servicing outboard for ALOT less years than us like to push these- trust me your workshop makes alot more money selling other brands of outboards to keep the warranty going) and comes with SST prop and cash back-so hard to beat when all is stacked up. Cheers, Huey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers guys I owned a stessl 5.2mtr cuddy cab which was built back in the 80's immaculate cond and to this day this boat is still around fishing out of Narooma,this is and was one hull that Stessl got right,unfortunately im with you when it came to there tri hulls,was tempted to buy a 6mtr some years back until i rode in it,would of rathered my 4mtr breezabout..As for your plate boat,dont be fooled,theres good and bad in every breed and make of boat,being centre console id imagine your ride in that Formosa would and should be pretty smooth sailing? When you mix water and boats they are all wet within reason,hence why i like my cuddy cabs with clears all round. As for E Tecs have skied behind them and fished from them all with ease,great on fuel,would not hesitate if i one day wanted to repower my cat an E Tec would get a serious look in,in saying this im sure there are guys who would not ever own one,at end of day ive never had a bad experience so they get thumbs from me...
