Stessco Tripper 379 HS - Yamaha F20 - Run in and review.

We bought a new tinny for our travels. We did a test run in the Serpentine river to run in the new outboard and get a feel for the new rig.

[@gravis00]

Great! Really wish we had these kinds of boats in the USA. We have Stabicraft but only on the west coast. Need more tinnys here.

[@TheBaldandtheBeautiful]

Thanks. They’re awesome little boats. Definitely need more tinnys over there, I’m surprised there’s not more.

[@rush.gang.fishing]

Awesome little tin man, can’t beat a well built tin & the stessco are top of the range I reckon! Look forward to seeing more!

[@TheBaldandtheBeautiful]

Cheers Jack. It’s an awesome little boat. Can’t wait to get a fish on deck.

[@MADDOGUNIT84]

That’s an awesome looking little tinny! Love the wide gunnels, would be nice and solid. Cheers mate

[@TheBaldandtheBeautiful]

She’s an awesome little rig. Super solid. We love it. Thanks for watching 🍻.

Took me 5 minutes to work out what the bloody hell was stuck on your lip 😂 When it was still there after lunch I realised lol

[@TheBaldandtheBeautiful]

That’s hilarious 🤣🤣🤣. Too shiny to be a bit of lunch.

Wooohooo!! Welcome to Dinghy Lyfe 🤜🤛! Epic lil Hezza Slaya 🐟🤺

[@TheBaldandtheBeautiful]

Maybe hezza blood will christen the deck 🩸 🐟!

[@oldmate_adventures]

@TheBaldandtheBeautiful pretty sure that is nautical law for a new dinghy anyway 🤔😅, have to paint your face with it too 😉

[@TheBaldandtheBeautiful]

The Alumicraft V 14 is a bare bones heavy V Hull higher freeboard boat. I have one and like it. Not sure if they make a V 16 version.

[@TheBaldandtheBeautiful]

Is that an American brand? I’ve never heard of them. I’ll have a look on google.

[@33736]

Congrats, great looking boat. I noticed the high sides are popular in Australia, is that because of the big crocs, lol?

[@TheBaldandtheBeautiful]

I’m sure the high sides are popular for croc protection in the northern parts of the country. No need to worry about them in my neck of the woods.

[@mudbutton2]

Good tinny.

[@TheBaldandtheBeautiful]

Thanks. We love it.

[@user-tw9eu9io9w]

Hi Mate Awsome job on the floor and cast deck. did you get any plans or drawings for that. I would like to make mine the same.

[@TheBaldandtheBeautiful]

I don’t have plans. But I took photos and could write up some materials and how I did it. How’s that?

[@user-tw9eu9io9w]

That would be great, it looks exacly what I want, Thanks.

[@TheBaldandtheBeautiful]

Send me an email, [e-mail] and I’ll see what I can throw together for you.

[@dadsthatfishaustralia9152]

Hey Mate, what was the diameter of the ali box tubeing you used to raise the transom ? Looks like 40x40 ? Cheers

[@TheBaldandtheBeautiful]

It’s 30x40mm. 30mm for the height, 40mm width. It was done by the dealership where I got the boat. Apparently the Yamaha has a slightly longer shaft.

[@dadsthatfishaustralia9152]

@@TheBaldandtheBeautiful Thanks Mate , i got the same boat after watching your video and a few others except i went with a suzuki on the back with 20" shaft and i rekon it needs to go up about 30x .Cheers for that mate.

[@TheBaldandtheBeautiful]

@@dadsthatfishaustralia9152 awesome little tinny. I’m glad you got one too, you’ll have a blast. 🎣 🍻.

[@BB-tm7gx]

oars ?

[@SouthernCrossGO]

Nice tinny mate. How much was it

[@TheBaldandtheBeautiful]

$12,500 drive away. Got it $300 cheaper as it had a scratch on the hull from transport.

[@andrewtaylor9674]

Top speed?

[@TheBaldandtheBeautiful]

Not sure yet. I haven’t had a chance to hold it WOT. We were just running it in.
