Cant help with build quality, coke cans aint normally my thing. But... Stacer, Savage and Quintrex are all Telwater brands. Build is much of a muchness between the 3, actual hull design is where the 3 differ with Savage being the most basic and budget. Stacer the midrange with moderate flares, varia...

add weight of the trailer, motor, fuel load (1 liter = 1 kg) plus anything extra like casting decks, trolling motor etc to find out an estimated final tow weight.
from memory the brumby will be close to a tonne when added up.

Honestly mate. You can’t bait fish 4 comfortably in anything less than 7m You can get away with 3 in smaller boats including my little formula 15 but anything 6m or less is best with 2.
