Stessl Boats Stessl Funseeker

The Stessl Funseeker is a versatile aluminium plate bowrider designed as a large-capacity sports cruiser for family fun, water sports and relaxed days on the bay. Its quiet, smooth-riding PlatetriX2 hull and deep freeboard create a reassuringly stable platform, letting everyone on board stretch out and enjoy the sun while the boat handles choppy conditions with confidence.

A spacious bow lounge with three upholstered cushions and a wraparound backrest provides comfortable forward seating that easily doubles as a functional casting or boarding platform when it is time to fish. A folding rear lounge and backrest, deluxe pedestal helm seats on slides and swivels, and generous side pockets maximise usable space and storage throughout the cockpit.

The Funseeker’s full-height transom with twin boarding platforms and a walk-through transom door makes access from the water safe and simple, ideal for swimmers and skiers. Heavy-duty dive ladder, high bow rails, side rails and robust plate construction with fully welded bulkheads and frames deliver the strength and security expected of an offshore-capable bluewater bowrider.

Helm and passenger consoles feature a wraparound tinted windscreen with an opening door, sports steering wheel, passenger glove box and a large dash fascia sized for oversized marine electronics. A tinned marine wiring harness with battery switch, automatic bilge pump, LED navigation and anchor lights, and a multi-gang switching panel with 12V socket support modern electrical fit-outs.

Long-range aluminium fuel tanks across the size range, together with recommended horsepower options from 80hp up to 175hp, provide flexible power and cruising endurance for extended days on the water. RAILBLAZA TracLoader coamings, integrated rod holders, anchor winch brackets and multiple transducer brackets make it easy to tailor the Funseeker for serious fishing, tow sports or all-round family boating.

Available in multiple hull sizes from compact 4.95m packages up to a roomy 6.00m platform, the Stessl Funseeker combines generous seating, thoughtful deck layout and rugged construction to create a capable, comfortable bowrider that suits a wide range of Australian waterways and boating adventures.
