BOATING & marine Stacer launches new Proline models
S
TACER Australia has announced the launch of its latest offering – the Stacer 359 Proline SE and Stacer Proline 379 SE – perfect for inland fishing enthusiasts. Based off the popular Proline series, the Proline SE has all the benefits of the original while incorporating deeper side sheets. This feature makes it more ideal for larger dams and lakes and is an added safety feature when the little ones are onboard. Other standard features include two aluminium bench seats – one with a glove box – a transducer bracket and safety rails. Available options include a bimini cover to keep off the worst of the
sun, rod holders, carpeted fuel-tank rack and paint vinyl wrap. Drilling down into the numbers, the 359 Proline SE has a capacity of two people, with 1.6mm aluminium bottoms and a maximum horsepower of 15. This is the perfect option for a solo fisho or a couple of friends who want to head into the dam or river. The 379 Proline SE is setup to accommodate three people, with a maximum horsepower of 25 and featuring 1.6mm aluminium bottoms also. For those with a small family or an extra companion, this boat is perfect for exploring Australia’s waterways. Stacer general manag-
er Sam Hayes said, “We are thrilled to bring the Stacer 359 and 379 Proline SE models to the market.” “We are confident that this boat will exceed the expectations of our customers and provide them with the ultimate fishing experience.” The Proline models join those existing in the family – including the original Proline, the Angler and the Territory Striker. All Stacer’s boats are handmade in the Gold Coast by a team of dedicated local tradespeople.

Why aluminium trailers are better than galvanised steel
W
ITH the growing demand for trailers, it’s important to choose the right material for the job. While both aluminium and galvanised steel have their own unique benefits, aluminium has proven to be the superior choice for many reasons. One of its biggest is durability. Aluminium is a lightweight and corrosion-resistant material, making it perfect for trailers that are exposed to the elements. It does not rust or deteriorate, making it a long-lasting option for those looking for a durable trailer. In contrast, galvanised www.bnbfishing.com.au
steel can rust over time, especially when exposed to saltwater or other corrosive substances. Next on the list is the difference in weight between the two. Aluminium trailers are much lighter than their steel counterparts, making them easier to manoeuvre and transport. This is especially important for smaller vehicles, which may struggle with the added weight of a steel trailer. One upside that many customers love to hear is the low amount of maintenance required – aluminium trailers require very little upkeep, making them the ideal choice for those who want a
hassle-free solution. They are also easy to clean and maintain, with no special treatments or coatings required. A great benefit for aluminium is its high eco-friendly status. Aluminium is a sustainable material that is recyclable and does not produce harmful emissions. It’s a great choice for those looking for an ecological option for their trailer. So, what about the cost? While aluminium trailers may be a little more expensive upfront, they are a cost-effective option in the long run. They require less
maintenance, last longer and retain their value better than galvanised steel trailers. Move Boat Trailers district sales manager Adam Crossley said, “At Move, we are committed to providing our customers with the best trailer options available.”
“That’s why we recommend aluminium trailers over galvanised steel. “With its superior durability, lightweight design and low maintenance requirements, aluminium is the clear winner.” For more information, visit moveboattrailers. com.au
