3.5 stacer help

breamboy · #1 21-09-2005, 03:13 AM

hi all i just got a casting deck put in my 3.5m stacer and i just thought of it now. The boat is only 3.5m and there is about 7-8cm between the deck and the top and im going to be putting a minn kota 40lb on the front and a battery under the deck and i just thought with me up the front would the boat roll over????
ive got a 15 on the back + fule and 2 lead plugs so i hope that kind of ways it out except for rolling sideway.

im not happy now

What model Stacer have you got ?

Put your battery down the back with the fuel and outboard and that will balance it up a bit. Some people even ballast the rear if it's too front heavy. But rolling over? I can't see it happenning unless your 150+kg. My quintrex 3.5 has a similar height on the front deck and I'm not concerned. The only way to test it is get out on the water. Maybe consider placing your seat/lean seat further back also........ just some ideas

don its a stacer 350 seasprite 2003. im mostly concerned about it rolling over side ways if i stand on the side where the leccy is

Being a seasprite you have a move of a "V" hull then a punt so I would try to put a lot of the weight towards the back.

But as Stu said just try it out and move things around till you feel comfortable with it.Keap in mind your live well if you are going to fish super punts.

g'day, i have a 310 allycraft and although it is unstable i have never rolled it. i have had me and a mate right on the same side and it always pulles out ok. just be carful as i once found out that once they start to swamp they can be sucked down and fill up fast. just always keep and eye on any waves and make sure your mates are careful.
