Why Choose Quintrex Boats

WHY CHOOSE QUINTREX

Established in 1945 Quintrex has long been an Australian boating favourite. Producing over 80 models, Quintrex is synonymous with quality – and with such an extensive range there’s a boat to suit every boatie.

As Australia’s largest and leading manufacturer of aluminium boats, Quintrex remains at the forefront of aluminium boat design. Our continuous research and development program led to the implementation of stretch-forming technology to first create the award winning Millennium Hull and Flared Bow and now the Millennium Blade Hull. The success of Quintrex’s innovative designs has awarded the brand ‘Aluminium Boat of the Year’ over ten times.

Quintrex boats hold their value

ONLY THE BEST HOLD THEIR VALUE

Quintrex boats have a reputation for value; new or second hand. Their resale value is one of the best on the market – that’s if you’re lucky to get your hands on a second hand model!

When you purchase a Quintrex you’re investing in endless days of fun on the water and a highly sought after boat brand that holds it’s value for many years.

Quintrex’s state of the art factory is an 18,000m2 purpose built facility in the Gold Coast Marine Precinct, producing up to 30 boats per day and 12,000 boats per year. We export extensively to over 15 countries incorporating the South Pacific, Asia, Europe and the Indian Ocean.

A HISTORY OF INNOVATION

The stretch forming technology used to create this marvel is just as revolutionary today as it was then. The design fundamentals used to create the flared Bow paved the way for the development of the Millennium Hull and now the Millennium Blade Hull.

True to its name, the Apex Hull offers the pinnacle of boating with years of research and development leading to superior performance on the water – You have never seen a boat quite like this before!

Blade Hull
Blade Hull

Blade Hull

Our blade hull cuts through rough water like a knife with its sharper, sleeker shape and increased deadrise. By releasing spray further aft you get an even drier ride, and if that’s not enough our blade hull has increased hull efficiency by balancing the convex and concave shapes offering lower planning speeds and improved top-end speed!

Flared Bow

Flared Bow

The concave shape of the flared bow is made possible by our unique ability to stretch form aluminium. The curve of side sheets deflects spray and keeps passengers dry. In rougher conditions such as in breaking seas and solid water the flared bow aids in lift and recovery.

This hull combines the stability of a traditional punt with the handling of a v-shaped hull. Its v-nose design allows the wide beam to be brought forward to the bow. This design allows for all-round stability, aids planning and disperses choppy water.

Fighter Series Bow

Fighter Series Bow

Our fighter series features a forked shaped bow which not only sees the front deck and casting platform area increased by up to 11% but improves stability at rest – making fishing from the casting platform a breeze. The fighter series is the new face of fishing with more storage and easy installations of electric motors. **

**The fighter series bow can now be seen across the hornet range and on explorer models 390 and above.
