Rummers Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Hey Raiders, just after some advice about boats. currently looking at a Stacer Rampage 429 and pairing it with a 25hp Yamaha. will this motor have enough power? Just concerned it will struggle. thanks guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noelm Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 It will be "adequate" certainly a long way from good, don't expect blinding speed or easy planing with a couple of people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rummers Posted January 15, 2021 Author Share Posted January 15, 2021 Thanks mate, I usually fish alone but occasionally will have a couple of people with me. im okay not having speed. but I might look at selling the motor and buying the boat with a better motor. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davison Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 (edited) I have a 2020 Yamaha 25hp on my estuary boat (Quintrex 390 Explorer Outback). The little Yam is a beast on that hull. Boat runs a full floor/casting deck, battery, electronics, fishing gear, esky, 2 people and dog. So probably not far off a 420 Rampage running light with 1 person. Heaps of grunt out of the hole and does mid 40s flat out. Perfect for the ~4m open hulls. If it were me w/ a 420 I'd still prefer max horsepower but I think the 25 yam would hold its own. Probably find the limits with 3 people and gear though. Streaker Marine fit the 25hp to 420 Bustas, maybe give them a call and ask how they go 3 up in that config.

Rummers Posted January 15, 2021 Author Share Posted January 15, 2021 Thanks mate. Exactly what I was looking for. legend. I’ll give them a call tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shakey55 Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 It’ll be no power machine with fishing gear and people, but will adequately do the job of getting you to some favourite fishing spots. GoodLuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest123456789 Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 I test drove a 30hp Suzuki 4 stroke on a rampage. Not enough hole shot - don’t bother. Either get the 40 or as others have suggested downsize the hull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlayerOne Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 I've got a 40(2stroke) on my Quintrex 420 and would like more power!.... I think 25hp would be underpowered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rummers Posted January 19, 2021 Author Share Posted January 19, 2021 Thanks guys. I’ve decided to not put the 25hp on. thanks for the input Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
