There is a stacer 420 with a 40hp mercury for sale on wonthagi buy and sell. I'd buy if I didn't already have my boat.
$5,900.

Lol, not in Victoria yet. Still in the U.S. A bit tricky to buy a boat when you're not there. :tease:

Would you (or anyone else) be able to suggest worthwhile boat brands to look at? Right now I have Quintrex, Stacer, Brooker, Horizon, Clark, Savage, Stressl, Sea Jay, and Bluefin. Any objections to those, or additional recommendations?

This boat should sell for around 10,000, so it is a good buy. But true being in the states, makes it a bit hard to buy a boat when you are not here in Oz.

another good tip if buying a boat, is that if it has only been used in fresh water. Salt water is a bit harsh not only on fishing gear, but boats as well.
