For the tenth year running, Stacer has committed itself to sponsoring the renowned Pirtek Fishing Challenge to help raise much needed funds for the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia and The Peter Duncan Neurosciences Research Unit at St Vincent's Hospital.

In its plight to help curb the trend, with prostate cancer the leading cancer diagnosis in men, Stacer stepped its game up this year, donating three boats to drive awareness, entries and donations for the cause.

In its 16th year, the Pirtek Fishing Challenge offered $300,000 worth of prizes across their Catch and Release and social media competitions, including a 2024 Stacer 469 Outlaw for the 'On The Water' prize draw.

The Stacer 469 Outlaw, Mercury 75HP motor and trailer package is a sought-after fishing rig, for its top performance and affordability whilst featuring a wide range of boating essentials as standard; including rod holders, a rear casting platform, live bait tank and large side pockets.

Featuring the famed Revolution Hull, the Outlaw is designed for inland and offshore waterways; a perfect companion for the Pirtek Fishing Challenge.

Donning an event-exclusive, custom wrap, the 2024 prize-boat is decked out to make a statement on the water, and was won by Shautine Burns.

Alongside the Outlaw, there were also two 379 Territory Striker that were donated for entrants to have a chance to win.

The Stacer 379 Territory Striker has developed a strong reputation in the industry as a high-quality aluminum fishing boat, perfect for Australia's inland waterways.

With innovative features such as the deep V-hull design, it provides fishos with a smooth ride while providing plenty of room for passengers and fishing gear.

The two Territory Strikers were awarded to lucky entrants Andrea Bradley and Mason Hodges.

Madeline Bishop, Marketing and Communications Manager said that Stacer Australia is proud to partner with the Pirtek Fishing Challenge after 16 years of its commencement, providing locals the opportunity to use their Stacer boats, or win a brand new one, whilst raising funds for a good cause.

"The fishing adventures are limitless with Stacer and competitions like the Pirtek Fishing Challenge, provide aspiring fishos with a chance to get out on the water, fish and enjoy the outdoors in their very own backyard."
