Steber 3800 Sportsfisher Review
I hadn't been for a run in a Steber bigger than 22ft for a decade. So it was a surprise when I recently jumped aboard one of the newer style hulls that this iconic family boat-builder has developed, it was their 3800 Sportsfisher.
Stebercraft 28 Review Sydney Harbour
She's an excellent sea boat, more than capable of making long passages up the coast. The 28 would be just at home out around Brown's Mountain chasing game fish, as it would be on a leisurely cruise up the Hawkesbury River
Stejcraft Extreme Ski Boat Review
The Stejcraft Extreme is a very special, very attractive and very rewarding centremount ski boat. While built around the wake boarding market, it is flexible enough to be used for any form of social skiing.

Stessl Edge Vee Angler 415 & Tracker Rail 435 Review
Just to confuse the great tinnie debate even further, Stessl released two new additions to its already extensive range the Stessl Edge Vee Angler 415 & Tracker Rail 435. And while these boats may look like just another couple of pointy-nosed tinnies, they aren't!
Stessl Edge Tracker 435 Tinnie Review
We liked the Edge Tracker 435 tested very much. So, how much will it cost to park a Stessl 435 Edge Tracker in your driveway ? Prices for a boat, motor, trailer start at $16,370. The boat as tested cost $19,035.
