Stacer national sales and marketing manager, Damien Duncan, said the 549 ST Wave Runner and 569 ST Coral Runner are an ideal choice for those after the sleek lines of a sterndrive bowrider but with the convenience of a cabin boat.
"When it came to developing these models we wanted to combine the features of the AMIF award winning 549 Sportster with the versatility of our popular cabin range," said Duncan.
"The walkthrough cabin provides the perfect place to get out of the sun as well as easy access to the anchorwell, while the sterndrive transom design introduces a plush rear lounge, sleek lines and a boarding platform with 'soft-touch' grip for easy access to the transom for divers, swimmers and skiers.
"Both models also feature a MerCruiser sterndrive engine with a sports steering wheel and power steering," Duncan said.
With 4mm bottom sides, 2.5mm top sides and measuring 5.71m overall, the 549 ST Wave Runner can cater for seven passengers and is powered by a 135hp 3.0lt MerCruiser sterndrive engine.
Meanwhile, the 569 ST Coral Runner features 4mm bottom sides, 4mm plate topsides, measures 6.01m overall and is able to carry seven people. This model has a 190hp 4.3lt MerCruiser sterndrive engine with the option to upgrade to a 220hp 4.3MPI MerCruiser engine.
