Stacer 429 Outlaw vs Quintrex 420 Renegade

[matt17]

Hi Guys,

I've been looking at the above two boats for the last couple of months and was hoping for some feedback from anyone who has/ currently owns one of these.

I am looking for a boat that will used inshore 80% of the time, with a bit of light offshore stuff (kings, snapper etc) when the conditions are right. From what I have heard, the renegade is much better suited to this due to the flat hull design.

I've got my heart set on the renegade but would love to know thoughts/ opinions. Anything will help, thanks.

One of the guys I fish with has the Stacer not sure if its larger than the 429 Outlaw from memory, however it's the same hull design and basically the same fit out with the side console etc.

He's got the Evinrude on the back and its a great estuary, inshore and I personally wouldnt bat an eyelid to taking it outside in 90% of the conditions I would go fishing in...

A nice quiet hull at rest, planes well and quiet through the chop.

Cant comment on the Quintrex side of things, but the Stacer gets my vote!

Look at the deadrise of both.
Quintrex has a finer entry than the Stacer.
Above the water line both are the same.
Havent riden in the outlaw, but I do have the Renegade, all be it a 460SC.
Have been out in some slop and its a far better ride than any other tinnie I've had either larger or smaller.
Static stability in the 460 is not an issue either.

I build both of them for a living they are the same boat bar the Bottom sides basically.
The Quintrex will ride better everyday of the week in any conditions ,the 429 is slightly longer in length .
The main difference in the 2 boats is the bottom sides ,the Stacer being cut and pressed then the Quinnie being Cut,Stretched over there 1 of a kind Die and pressed to form the Bottomside of the hull.
Both are great boats Quintrex slightly better but honestly not too sure the extra cost associated with them is really worth it if it's mainly estuary work your doing.

The Outlaw will comfortably handle offshore in the right conditions.

It doesn't cost anything to test drive - take them both out and then decide.

Further to the comments above, what size donk would everyone recommend for a four stroke tiller steer? Open to any suggestions, I fancy something in Suzuki or Tohatsu.
cheers
