Mooseadventures Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 Hi all - I am moving (from N Beaches Sydney) to the NT for a year. Trying to work out what boat to buy for up there, that I would also be able to use when back in Sydney. I am looking at something like a Stacer Outlaw 469. The thinking is: - small enough for rivers and creeks in the NT chasing Barra - big enough for some Inshore Reef - suitable for casting in the Pittwater, Hawksbury and trolling the Headlands for Kings Am I looking for a unicorn that doesn't exist? Open to thoughts and ideas. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Open to thoughts and ideas. Thanks My opinion: should be suited to those applications / locations with a 75HP motor and Minn Kota with spot lock. No serious weight problem for towing. I've never been in one but stability needs consideration especially for the croc infested top end waters. bn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berleyguts Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 I have Stacer Outlaw 449 SC with a 60hp ETEC and a 55lb thrust Minn Kota. I use it offshore from Port Stephens and I’ve fished off Sydney, in Botany Bay, Port Hacking and the Hawkesbury and bass fishing in the Nepean. I find it very stable. I reckon a 469 Outlaw would suit your needs to a T. I’d probably go for the maximum recommended HP for that hull and maybe go for a higher thrust Minn Kota to deal with those raging tidal currents up north. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
