Stabicraft 1850 Supercab Preview

The Stabicraft 1850 Supercab made such an impression on our editor that he went all loopy and declared it a Stabi with sex appeal, spouting rubbish about it looking like singer Niki Minaj in full body armour. Or something.

So imagine his delight when the manufacturer served up a second instalment, except this time they’ve taken its top off. We’ve had to lock him in his office for fear of embarrassing himself, but he’s already booked in a test and it seems there’s no stopping him.

Unencumbered by the Supercab’s glasshouse, there’s 360° of fun to be had in this latest rig. The new-generation 1850 Frontier features Arrow Pontoons and a Gamechaser transom, endowing it with a fuller figure typical of the breed. It also has loads of depth and a snazzy angled console that screams functionality.

The test boat flaunts two-tone yellow pontoons with dark contrasting panels, and it’s all rather eye-catching. There’s also an optional jump seat fitted to the front.

For those who aren’t into going topless, but who just like to expose a bit more skin, there is also a Fisher version with a plunging neckline courtesy of its low-profile screen. This model features the same full figure and quality finish in a semi-runabout configuration.

When we last saw the editor he was squeezing into his Stormy Seas jacket and muttering something about a ménage à trois before grabbing his keys and running off. Stay tuned to his full (and uncensored) test in an upcoming issue.
