Ultimate Tinny - Custom Boat Build 2.0 - BIGGER & BETTER

After more than 200 hours on the water in just a few months, Lee runs through his fully customised fishing boat setup and answers one simple question – is this the ultimate tinny? Built on a Stacer 539 Crossfire platform and powered by a Mercury 150R, this rig has been designed to handle everything from inshore sessions through to offshore fishing. Every feature has been added with purpose, based on real-world use and lessons learned from previous builds. Starting from the outside and working through the entire layout, Lee breaks down the boat from bow to stern, covering hull design, trailer upgrades, engine choice and the setup on the transom. From there it’s a deep dive into the features that make this build unique – storage solutions, deck layout, lighting, batteries, electronics, bait tanks, plumbing, rod holders and more. Along the way, Lee explains the reasoning behind each modification, including moving the console for better weight distribution, adding additional fuel capacity for extended range, and designing a layout that allows him to fish a wide range of techniques from one platform. This is not just a walkthrough – it’s a real-world review of a fishing boat that has already been put through its paces, highlighting what works, what matters, and how to build a setup that suits your own style of fishing. A full electronics walkthrough will be covered in a separate video. 👉 If you’re planning your own boat build or want ideas for setting up a versatile fishing rig, subscribe and follow along for more real-world insights. #boatreview #fishingboat #tinny #stacer #stacer539 #crossfire #mercury150R #mercuryoutboards #boatsetup #fishinggear #boatingaustralia #tinnysetup #fishingedge #leerayner #boatreview
