COMPLETE WALKTHROUGH!! Stessco 379 Tripper Custom Boat Build

[@felixcat9318]

That looks to be a very strong, capable and well constructed little boat, and I especially liked the corrugated hull, nice rigidity designed in there. Your meticulously precise workmanship stands out for its high quality, and enclosing your underfloor electrical cables in conduit further emphasises that. Electrical panel and switches looked perfect, and the quality and care taken really stand out well. I'd not seen this boat before but its compact size, strength and purposeful appearance set it apart. Thank you for sharing your lovely boat and your upgrades.

How do you rate the outback 390?

[@yourenotwrong3511]

@@sharkyshepo8167 do you know how heavy they are. Im in the market for a tinny that i can chuck on top of my camper but im not sure if it will be too big. I was looking at the sea jay 3.7 hs nomad but here in wa there is a big waiting list because of the covid. A couple of places told me they cant get any more in until june.

[@sharkyshepo8167]

@@yourenotwrong3511 I reckon the sea jay are the best roof topper, i went bigger cause i have a winch and my boy and wife are stronger, my tinny is 1.8m wide i got 3 kids so i had to go as big as i can. They say my boat is 110kg but i can lift most of it myself

[@dylangreen507]

Nice man. How’s the boat going now?

[@1968krug]

Congrats on your boat looks very tidy indeed. It’d be hard to look at refurbishing something old when you could go in this direction, I imagine it probably cost around 10k?

[@bwsoutdoors7072]

Thanks mate. Either way it is a great sense of achievement doing something yourself. With the accessories it was a tad more but I did save quite abit doing the work myself.

Hey mate! Love your clean rig. Have you got any progress pics of your frame work for front and back decks. Cheers legend

Hi mate love the buddy boat you did a sweet job where did you buy the carpet?

[@bwsoutdoors7072]

Thanks mate. It’s the slightly cheaper marine carpet from Bunnings. It’s been good as it’s easier to keep clean over the stiff marine carpet.

Hi could you send me the link for your ram mount on sounder l also ordered the stessco bass tracker 389 with the wider gunnels your video has help me heaps hopefully my boat will look half as good as your one

[@newport5504]

Hey mate do you know if there is much difference between the 375 and the 379 besides the length, looking at either one at the moment

[@bwsoutdoors7072]

Hey mate, I wasn't aware they made a 375, Really happy with mine though.

[@newport5504]

Any idea on how many ppl can be on this boat at once thank you

@@bwsoutdoors7072 thanks mate for that , can it hold 2 adults and 2 kids? Or does that make it illegal

[@bwsoutdoors7072]

@@newport5504 don't hold me to it but I'm pretty sure children under 12 are classed as half an adult so 2 children under 12 would be classed as one adult.

Love your boat sold my pa14 looking at buying a tinny and doing the same mods as you. l was looking at the quintrex f390 outback or stacer 399 or stessco what do you recommend going with the Yamaha f25 just need to decide which tinny to get

[@bwsoutdoors7072]

Thanks Dan!, I sold an F390 and pa14 to buy this and set it up properly, in my opinion the Stessco is a better built boat than the Quintrex was. Just shop around mate and see what suits you better. Stessco are usually built to order so keep that in mind, mine was a 2 week turn around but it was done to my personal preference which was a nice touch.

[@danmaxwell994]

BWS Outdoors is there a big cost difference between the f390 and stessco and was the f390 stable when standing at the front

[@bwsoutdoors7072]

Not alot of difference in hulls mate, more the motors and accessories that makes the difference. F390 is a little more stable but is a bigger boat

[@danmaxwell994]

BWS Outdoors why did change from f390, also did you do all the framing for the floor and casting deck your self any chance you could send me some pictures sorry for questions your boat is perfect. It’s hard to find real reviews on tinny.

[@Limestone_Adventures]

Hey what is the box you have sitting in the middle I’m looking for an idea for keeping fish, squid etc?

[@bwsoutdoors7072]

Hey mate, it’s just a gear box where I throw lures, measure mats, pliers, etc

[@Limestone_Adventures]

@@bwsoutdoors7072 I just saw the video from your kayak after I sent the message, Bunnings don’t sell them anymore by the looks, great idea though looking for something the same 👍🏻

Which mount are you referring to mate?

[@mick4107]

Hey mate. Could you give me a link to where you bought your vinyl sticker roll to wrap wrap your boat with? also have you got a link to your facebook? Cheers mate.

[@bwsoutdoors7072]

Hey mate, link I have is expired but plenty of options on eBay I bought 1.52x5m was enough to do the whole boat. Over a year on now and still good as new with no lifting. I will be redoing it in a new colour through the winter!
