a 4.6 side console will obviously give you more room (and you probably need that big for sleeping 2 people) as they start to get a fair bit wider inside. But apart from the sleeping part, just remember, there will be absolutely no difference in what you can do fishing or leisure wise in the 4.6, that you can’t do in the 4.4m. I have had a horizon 4.6 side console and it had all the nice bits and pieces added to it, but I now have a quintrex 420 tiller steer busta, that will go exactly the same places and catch the same fish.

in summary, what I am trying to say is, don’t get sucked into thinking bigger is always better.

 I only had my 481 top ender a week, so haven’t done an overnighter yet. however it’s a side console so reckon only one person could sleep comfortably on it unless you’re in the same swag and don’t mind spooning.. or if the second person is a small kid they might fit in front of the console. If you’re going brand new you’ll save some coin  buying the same size stacer.. I might have gone that way if I hadn’t found the one I did second hand. 

I have one. We did an all nighter in the Walpole system (AAA State Estuary Championships) with 3 onboard...comfortable enough. A couple of months ago I did an all nighter in the Swan and slept 2 for a couple of hours. No problems at all. The Renegades are very wide and have heaps of room.

Check out the Seajay 4.6. tiller steer so it frees up a heap of deck space with no console and will get 2 swags in. I fish on one up here and it rides pretty well for its size.

 Thanks all for the input. Ended up getting a 469 Stacer outlaw and loving it!!! Cheers
