Stacer 539 Wild Rider powered by a 115hp 4-Stroke Yamaha

by Gary Brown •

Stacer 539 Wild Rider powered by the VF115LA VMAX SHO 4-Stroke Yamaha outboard is a true all-round family boat where you could take the family out for a fish in the morning and then go skiing as the sun gets higher in the sky.

From its roomy rear cockpit, you can go through the walk-through windscreen where you will be able to sit on comfortable factory infill cushions while keeping an eye out for pods of dolphins or keeping an eye on the skier.

If water skiing is not your scene you can always take the cushions out and drop in the centre section of the carpeted floor and start casting for those pelagics that you may see busting up out the front.

Stacer have kept the angler in mind when it comes to fishing up front; they have covered the anchor well so that you can operate the electric motor and not have it get in the way and the two side compartments have plenty of storage room.

I reckon you could get yourself a low-profile icebox and fit it one into the port side front compartment and either store your food and drinks or those fish you are going to catch. With the carpeted cover, fill-in cushions and some ice it would keep your food, drinks and fish cool.

While seated at the helm of the boat the GARMIN echoMAP 75sv Plus sounder/GPS and the 703-control box 6YC digital Lan screen gauge where very easy to see and use. There is also a small storage near the throttle for those items that you need to keep out of the weather.

Not that I needed it, but if you had a small child you could fold up the booster cushion so that they too could see over the Low-Profile Sports Deck & Dash.

If you have more guests onboard you can always fold up the padded cushioned seat at the rear of the boat. When not is use it’s very easy to fold it back up.

As you will see the self-draining anchor well will be covered when the floor is in position. There is a small slot in the front to allow for the rope to easy come out when deploying the anchor.

Keeping your gear out of the elements is important and on both the port and starboard sides there is more storage. Items like your safety gear, first-aid kit, stern light could be stored safety in these side pockets.

Up front under the seats you have plenty of storage where you can fit your safety gear, esky and much more.

From the stern to the bow there is plenty of room in the 539 Wild Rider. Whether you are fishing, skiing or just boating. The Deluxe cushion swivel seats can be turned to face any direction in a circle.

Notice how the Revolution hull with its concave hull design with its reverse chines pushes the excess water down giving to a very comfortable and dry ride when cutting through and over the wash.

The adjustable deluxe swivel seats allowed you to easily see over the wrap around walk-through aluminium window.

The Revolution hull with its concave hull design powered by the VF115LA VMAX SHO 4-Stroke Yamaha had the Stacer 539 Wild Rider was up on the plane in less than 30-metres. Giving you plenty more power to open it up to around 40-knots if needed.

The Revolution hull with its concave hull design allowed the boat to glide through the water with ease giving your great stability when either at rest of underway. In this shot you will see how the bimini provides you with protection from the overhead elements.

Even though the bimini on the Wild Rider provides cover while sitting down. It does make it hard if you are tall when standing up. Talk to the staff at Marina Bayside about getting a higher one installed.

The Stacer 539 Wild Rider has no pressings giving the boat a smooth, sleek, modern look and the Factory vinyl wrap is very impressive. With an overall length on the trailer of 6.8 metres, would it fit in your garage?

The inclusion of the collapsible bimini and envelope will help keep the elements at bay while you are sitting on the swivel deluxe bow seats. As short as I am, I found that while at the helm of the boat I could easily see over the low-profile sports deck and dash when I folded up the booster seat.

At 700rpm I Once again, I have found that the VF115LA VMAX SHO 4-Stroke Yamaha outboard so quiet that I had to remember to turn the motor off. Putting the motor through its paces it was running at 2400rpm while doing 8-knots and once it got up on the plane it was only pulling 3000rpm while doing 18-knots. Making it a very economically rig to run.

Rather than go a full speed at 41-knots/ 6100rpm, I preferred to cruise at 30-knots while pulling 5000rpm.

Prospective buyers can take the Stacer 539 Wild Rider as it comes or option up with a re-designed transom door and ski-pole to allow for a range of activities such as skiing and tube riding.
