Stacer 619 Wild Rider 2018 ReviewStacer's 619 Wild Rider bowrider launches with thenew Revolution hull bottom, higher freeboard,boosted seating and more storage space

Replacing the outgoing Easy Rider series, Stacer has debuted a new�agship bowrider model called the Stacer Wild Rider 619. Equipped withStacer's all new concave Revolution hull, this feature-packed family boatboasts a number of upgrades and improvements. Paired with themaximum power Evinrude E-TEC G2 200hp DFI two-stroke outboard, the619 Wild Rider is a very quick, easy handling day cruiser and sports boat.

OVERVIEW

Stacer recently debuted a range of changes and improvements to its boatrange. The major announcement was the introduction of the newRevolution hull bottom across a broad range of models. However, Staceralso re�ned its boat range, adding new models and dropping others.

As part of the re-structure/revamp, the existing Easy Rider bowriders havebeen phased out and replaced with a new, improved bowrider series calledthe Wild Riders.

There are �ve Wild Rider models in the new range: the 499, 519, 539, 589,and the �agship 619.

What we like!

Soft riding, stableRevolution hull

Big power with Evinrude E-TEC G2

Great handling, e�ortlesspower steerin

Not so much!

No helm or passenger grabrail

Helm console could use aphone shelf

The Wild Riders all use the new Revolution concave hull in place of theoutgoing EVO Advance hull. The latest hull bottom is softer riding, yetequally stable due to a very �ne bow entry shape which �ares outsubstantially to wide outer chines. There is also substantial �are in thetopsides at the bow to suppress spray.

During the launch of the new models we were able to sample a range ofthe new boats, including the abovementioned �agship bowrider, the Stacer619 Wild Rider.

To fully demonstrate the capabilities of the 619 Wild Rider, the test boatwas rigged with the maximum power outboard in the form of an EvinrudeE-TEC G2 HO 200hp DFI two-stroke.

PRICE AND EQUIPMENT

In recent times Stacer has been adding value to its boats, manking featuresand equipment that other brands generally list as options, standard. Thisphilosophy continues with the new Wild Rider bowriders.

There is too much standard gear to list it all here, but among the keyinclusions are a GME VX750B VHF radio, Fusion RA70N sound system withspeakers, overhead bimini (with envelope), hull paint, a cockpit scupperdrainage system, hydraulic steering, folding rear lounge and back-rest andbow seating compartment with vinyl upholstered cushions and back-rests.Also included are boarding platforms and ladder, a pair of rod holders andtransducer brackets, bilge pump, sub-�oor ski locker and �sh box, carpetthroughout, and bow and stern tie-o� cleats. This really is one with the lot.

With the above gear and more, the Gold Coast's Whitewater Marine has619 Wild Rider packages starting from $63K. This price includes a StacerLatest articles View all articles

tandem-axle, braked alloy trailer and a 150hp Evinrude E-TEC G2 DFI two-stroke extra-longshaft outboard engine.

Our test boat was �tted with only a few options. These additions included astarboard side transom door, vinyl hull wrap, Stacer/Roswell Wakeboardtower, and sealant to the underside of the timber �ooring.

With the above options and a more powerful Evinrude 200hp E-TEC G2 HOoutboard (and Viper propeller), our test package is priced at $74,793. Thisis a fair sum for sure, but still good value compared with some rivalsbrands – especially so given the test boat’s equipment level.

DESIGN AND LAYOUT

The Stacer 619 Wild Rider has a traditional Aussie bowrider layout whichcombines a V-shaped padded seating area at the bow with a centre-opening, walk-through windscreen, dual pedestal helm chairs, and afolding rear lounge seat.

The 619 Wild Rider di�ers from its Easy Rider predecessor (and mostcompetitor models) in that the forward seating compartment has beenenlarged by the re-location of the anchor well from the foredeck to a binbeneath the bow centre seat cushion. This has allowed the designers topush the seating area further forward and to increase the length of the twoside seats.

The enlarged bow seating area can probably accommodate up to �vepeople - although the boat is only rated to carry seven in total, so thatscenario would be unlikely. More importantly, there is space for threepeople to lounge in comfort, two of those facing forward on each of theside seats - leaning back against the thickly padded, full-height back-restbolsters.

Slot in the optional (but not �tted) in�ll board and cushion and you have anice big sun-pad.

Remove all the cushions, leave the in�ll board in place and you are left witha sturdy casting deck for �shing. This can be combined with the optionalrear lounge casting platform (part of the Angler Pack) to re-con�gure theboat for �shing applications.

With regard to storage, the 619 Wild Rider is well sorted. In addition to thenoted anchor well bin, there is a safety gear locker under the bow sideseats, a sub-�oor ski storage locker between the helm chairs, an in-�oor�sh box aft, full length cockpit side storage pockets (with excellent toe/footsupport underneath), and shelving under the transom.

Each of the consoles also has storage bins behind So-Pac hatches, accessedfrom the companionway leading to the bow area.

The consoles also have roto-moulded plastic inserts with built-in drink/cupholders. There’s a glove box on the port side and dash and fascia space forengine instruments and electronics over the starboard side. We noted,however, there is not much �at panel space so you might need to bracket-mount a �sh �nder/GPS unit on the dash above the sports steering wheel.

Otherwise the driving/helm position is very good. A �ip-up front helm seatbolster makes it possible to drive the boat while standing, but it is mucheasier, more comfortable to remain seated - with the steering wheel andthrottle falling comfortably to hand.

Behind the dual deluxe helm chairs there is ample, uncluttered cockpitspace stretching back to a full height transom wall and a three-quarterwidth fold-down rear bench seat.

Other features include the neatly rolled internal gunwales, welded sterncleats, optional starboard side transom door, provision for a transom ski-pole, transom corner scuppers, bilge and battery access, and theaforementioned under�oor �sh box and rear storage shelf.

Fishing options available include a transom live bait tank, bow-mountelectric trolling motor plate, a rear bench seat/ casting platform, rocket-launcher rod rack, bait board, berley bucket and additional rod holders.

ON THE WATER

The Stacer 619 Wild Rider is designed for a mix of family sports boating and�shing activities. To that end, the concave, �ared bottom Revolution hullprovides a comfortable, dry ride with excellent stability and sportyhandling.

g

Underway, the Wild Rider slices cleanly through short, sharp, bay chop,surfs safely out of wave troughs, and carves up tight slalom turns with aneasy �ick of the sports steering wheel.

With the Evinrude E-TEC HO 200hp DFI two-stroke outboard on thetransom, the 619 Wild Rider is also great fun to drive and brutally fast. Thebig outboard snaps the 619 out of hole and accelerates it to a top speed of49kt (91 km/h) quick smart! And that's quick! Fast enough to get theadrenaline pumping, and easily quick enough for social tow sport activities.

Of course, if you don't plan on loading up the boat with the maximumseven adults, or towing your mates on tubes, wakeboards or water skis,then 200hp will likely be overkill.

We would expect to achieve low 40kt performance with a smaller 150hpoutboard and mid to high 30kt with a 120-130hp option. Accordingly, wewould recommend a smaller outboard engine for general family duties -including bay and coastal �shing, day cruiser, etc.

VERDICT

For water sports activities involving a combination of social tow sports, bayand coastal �shing, day cruising, and the like, the Stacer 619 Wild Rider is avery practical boat.

With big power on the transom it is very quick, yet easy and fun to drive, aswell as soft, dry in choppy water, and stable at rest.

With its drop-nose bow (lowered bow gunnel line unique to this �agshipmodel), and smooth topsides, the 619 Wild Rider is also a good lookingboat. Add some electronics gear and your choice of custom vinyl hull wrap
