Stabicraft 1450 Explorer | The Greatest Dinghy Ever? 

There at least three Stabicraft dealers in Oregon and WA with these boats.

Thanks for the feedback, appreciate it!!

Thanks mate I appreciate it. I would love to in the future they’re a dream boat 👌

I’d buy one in a heartbeat if I were after that size boat. Way better than my current 14 footer. But I’d like someone a little bigger 👌👌

Thanks mate 👍. Yeah was very lucky to have it a few months. Definitely made going back to my own boat hard 😂😂

It’s a great little engine!!

Thanks for the feedback Robert! First time doing anything like this and I’ve loved it. As tested the boat was just over $30K AUD. Naturally as you go up on models, the price increases from there quite quickly 👍

@@samspinks1513 Thanks Sam. Appreciate it.

Thanks mate. I had all my own gear to put in the boat while I used it, including my own anchor from my own boat. I couldn’t tell you what make it is, it’s very old haha.

The Stabi is a beauty that’s for sure. I personally own a boat very similar to a renegade with the same layout. Just comes down to what layout suits better. But in terms of how tough they are, I reckon the stabi would be the go. The self draining deck and high sides are a beautiful thing. Hope this helps. Where are you located?

@@samspinks1513 Ye the self draining deck is a big plus for me due wanting to keep the boat long term . Yeppoon mate Central Qld. You really don't see many up this way.

Believe it or not, they were close to the biggest waves in the whole video. Performed well in the wind against tide for a little boat 👌👌

Have a look at the following - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-OG1u_yxN4KM.html

@@ozisnowman yeah mate love that video 👌

Unfortunately they no longer exist. They have shut down.

Hey mate. Personally I don’t and not many people in my area do. It’s a great idea but for our style of fishing they can get in the way. I do use an electric bow mount motor on my own boat for trolling and lure fishing and I love it. For the purpose of this boat, I don’t think a kicker motor would really work due to its size. But an electric trolling motor would be ideal. And I also agree with the idea of a spare motor as a backup, but for the size of this boat it’s hard to see working without major modifications. So it comes back to the bow mount electric for me. And if I had this boat myself, that’d be one of the first things I’d do 👌. Cheers.

Thanks mate. Yep the 1550 review is coming

no one makes anything close to it... just outfitted one for about 23k but using my own trailer, rigging myself etc.. unfortunately price has went up 15% this year

@@airbats801 23k is still pretty high, for thin alum welded together. I do wish we could get similar length hulls locally with a deeper deadrise, that is one of keys for this baby stabi. I'd have to build one if I want more than than 10deg deadrise that's available or go to Canada get a lifetimer.

Someone in Oregon or Wa is building a stabi clone…if anyone has seen it?????

Thanks mate. It’s probably more a semi draining deck as it only drains when under way. The deck is completely sealed so there is no false floor. This gives open access to the internal bungs where you can let water out easily. The scuppers allow you to run without bungs at all, and as you move along, the water drains out. I probably should’ve looked into in on their website more first. Cheers 👍

@@samspinks1513 Thank you so much mate. Cheers!

Just got one and I must say they really are next level tinny. Get on 🤙

1450ราคาเท่าไรคับ

I’m not sure on the logistics for that. But they’re a great craft and if that’s what you’re set on then go for it!!

No I didn’t, but I’d say that wouldn’t have been any more weight than two knee boards so it should do it very easily 👍

Thanks! I’d say 8-12 inches and it would be floating from memory 👍

As Tested 30K AUD

thanks mate have fun

I believe they do come with the option of an electric motor bow mount and battery holder under the front cast deck. If I were to buy one I’d definitely be putting on an electric for my style of fishing. I think it would work great 👍

Gday, the boat I had is foam filled. It wasn’t too loud at rest at all. I have also been in older Stabicraft models that were not foam filled and didn’t notice a massive difference with sound compared to those that were foam filled. It probably makes a bit of difference and if you can do it, I’d go for it, but in saying that, without it wouldn’t be too bad I wouldn’t have thought. Congrats anyway on the deposit they’re a great boat.

Foam is a water soaker and will rot for certain…. No way.

That’s correct mate 👍

Install a pump 25 dollars and issue fixed.

@@pandaoverboard No Way, defeats the whole purpose of having a self draining deck. Terrible design for a deck. You then need a battery and on and on it goes. If they just made a deck that really was self draining all would be good. He also talks about how well the boat handled with all that water sloshing about.... It was flat as a lake. I think the self draining test did more harm then good showing hell well that ( didn't work ). Sadly.

Sorry Bill, when I mentioned the boat handling well, I’m talking about stability with water sloshing about. Unstable boat would’ve tipped side to side etc. Faster water draining would be ideal but I guess for the simple design of the boat it’s practical. First time filming a review for me cheers for the feedback.

Totally agree. Great boat, but 30k for a tinny is taking the piss.

Way way overpriced tin fart craft…can.

I’ll have to disagree on that one! Punches above its weight 👌

its self draining and a pontoon boat, it can't sink

mate you couldn't be more wrong, in NZ these are used on bars worse than haulover no stress at all
