Yep, do not confuse the pressed Telwater offering with their plate range, if I was in the market for something like that, they would be on my shopping list, a couple of mates have different models, and they are very good value.
I may be wrong here, but I think they way Stacer does their sub floor structure is the cheapest and weakest way of doing so. A lot of high end plate builders do full height stringers/bulkheads and the strength is in the sub floor structure. Stacer build seems to simply re-enforce the exterior with a million little bits tacked in and a could of floor risers. Not the best design imo
That video just makes it easier for the true plate guys to sell boats!
So, are you saying they do not build "true" plate boats?
Not everyone has a $100 000 to spend on their new boat. There has to economically viable boat builders and Stacer have been around a long time.Originally Posted by Flex
That boat would last for years with the family man going out and clocking 50hrs a year.
Structurally would handle anything any sensible fisho could throw at it.
Looks to be a clean and organised build IMO.Jim.

I have seen how they are constructed, and there is little (if any) difference to almost any plate boat on the market.
I have to agree with ya Flex.
The Stacers' appear to have a unique build that reduces the build time to save cost and therefore money, obviously resulting in a lower price for the consumer.
Below is a link I saw of some build photos of the Sea Jay plate boats as a bit of a comparison. Check out the floor sub structure they use, massive difference!

IMO, you get what you pay for and the extra money spent on a quality boat (either glass, alloy or plate) at the time of purchase would pay off later with a boat that will stand the test of time & abuse and would get greater resale.
Sorry mate I'm a bit lazy to work it out but is the seajay plate boat built better or worse than the stacer?
Main difference is top quality plate builds have full height bulkheads and/or stringers. Changes integrity of the boat a fair bit. But you are right Stacer do have a place in the market at their price point.
Built better but would cost more.
Very light construction in the Stacer very light...........good to see the Seajay sub structure my Origin was done the same way with full length and height stringers and bulkheads.
Theres a lot of so called "Plate boats" around built like the Stacer it's funny when people don't know the difference.........you definatly get what you pay for..........although saying that my hull actually worked out cheaper than buying a telewater pressed hull of equivalent length.
Confidence.......the feeling you get before you fully understand the situation.
So is the stacer plate boat built out of plate just for looks? and is it actually stronger than say a pressed hull seajay?
It's all academic until you get one out on the water. I've been on a 619 Ocean Ranger and it was actually a very good performer off Sydney heads. For boats of this size you simply don't need a comprehensive system of full length and depth stringers, regardless of what the Bar Crusher ads say. That's my opinion. Stacer/Telwater are not new to the game, they'd have a larger R&D division than most of the smaller builders combined. Have a bit of faith that they know what they're doing.
With the amount of complaints I've heard about Telwater over the years I'd say the opposite.
