GET SET FOR SERIOUS FISHING IN QUINTREX’S F450 HORNET

Quintrex’s popular Hornet range continues to be the boat of choice for serious fisherman and the F450 is proving to be one sought-after fishing rig.

The new design of the F450 Hornet maximises fishablity – the slimline sports console increases cockpit space and fishing access while the standard front and rear casting platform offer the perfect fishing spot wherever you may go.

Fully equipped for your next fishing trip the F450 Hornet is complete with a live bait tank in the back deck and tackle box tray as standard while the wide 2.1m beam creates a large front casting platform complete with a battery tray.

Quintrex National Account Manager Cameron Wood said the Hornet range has developed a cult following famous for the stability of the Eclipse V-Flared Hull.

‘The Eclipse Hull allows the beam to be wider at the bow for a larger front casting platform and cuts through choppy water well for all round stability,’ Cameron said.

‘The F450 Hornet is a great performer on the water and you can’t go wrong with the huge amount of features you get as the standard,’ Cameron added.

The F450 Hornet features a 77L underfloor fuel tank and a rating of 75HP meaning you can get to your favourite fishing spot quick and stay out there all day long.

The F450 Hornet is available as a Quintrex Instant Boating Package including an engine, Quintrex Trailer and 3 year limited factory warranty.

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

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.
