The spec sheets list the Stacer 319 Skimma 2027 as mono planing hull and the Stacer 359 Proline L/S 2026 as aluminium, so check how each hull rides in the conditions you use before you decide.
On paper these two are close siblings in the size department - Stacer 319 Skimma 2027 at 10,5 ft versus Stacer 359 Proline L/S 2026 at 11,0 ft. At 106 lbs and 166 lbs respectively, both sit in a similar weight class - either should pair comfortably with most mid-size SUVs and half-ton trucks, though always confirm your specific tow rating with the motor added.
Both boats share a closely matched power ceiling - 6 hp for the Stacer 319 Skimma 2027 and 15 hp for the Stacer 359 Proline L/S 2026. Real-world performance will come down more to which motor is actually bolted on, its load at the time, and whether it's a 4-stroke or 2-stroke setup.
Both boats are rated for 2 passengers - a good fit for a family of four or five plus guests. Comfort at capacity is another matter; the longer hull typically means more seat options and better weight distribution.
At this size, power-to-weight ratio matters more than outright horsepower. The Stacer 359 Proline L/S 2026 comes in at 11 lbs per hp versus 18 lbs per hp for the Stacer 319 Skimma 2027. The lower the ratio the more explosive the acceleration - meaningful on a short RIB where bursts of speed, quick planing, and agility in surf or tight waterways define the experience.
Bottom line: The Stacer 319 Skimma 2027 and Stacer 359 Proline L/S 2026 are closely matched on the specs that matter most. Test-ride both on the water you actually use, check current dealer pricing, and factor in long-term service access before you sign.
