Quintrex Planes On

The Maxi 2 Transom that has been the back bone of the Quintrex range over the past few years has been updated and renamed 'the M3 transom'.

Quintrex national sales and marketing manager Damien Duncan said the new 2008 range takes Quintrex to the next level.

"The new 2008 range has retained Quintrex's famous Millennium Hull, Eclipse Hull and Flared Bow, but sees the back end undergo a complete transformation," Duncan said.

"Quintrex's research and development team have designed the M3 transom to provide more usable space at the transom through the introduction of a distinct boarding platform with a 'soft-touch deck grip', great for water sports and fishing.

"While our boats already boast generous space, the M3 transom has also enabled us to increase this space further while aiding buoyancy aft and overall stability," he said.

Other additions across the range include a standard auto bilge pump, increased internal cockpit space and the introduction of a new deluxe transom backrest (excluding Hornets and 670 Spirit models)

All Top Ender, Bowrider, Centre Console and Cabin models, excluding the 440 Coast Runner, now also feature a standard skipole mount insert, deck wash drain funnel (excluding CV models) and increased underfloor storage (excluding CV models and 670 Spirit Centre Cabin).

For fishing enthusiasts, Hornet's now feature the new 2008 side console with a rotomoulded cup holder and tray section, as well as the ability to add a fridge slider, while the Top Ender now features an integrated transom livebait tank.

Larger boats in the range feature modified cabins with increased shoulder room for extra comfort and increased storage, and the 490, 520 and 560 Spirit models now have a new walkthrough cabin hatch for easier anchor access.

Quintrex customers also have more two-tone hull colours to choose from with the addition of golden brown and lime to the range.

Why a new transom?
Quintrex new M3 transom has been designed for those that like to get busy at the back end of their boats.
National Quintrex sales and marketing manager Damien Duncan said several design changes have been made to the transom on the 2008 model range.

"The new M3 transom sees the introduction of more usable space to the transom of the boat," Duncan said.

"The design makes way for a distinct boarding platform with a 'soft-touch deck grip' providing more grip and room for keen anglers to get right down the back of the boat and make full use of the increased internal space," he said.

"The new design is also perfect for swimmers and divers, and makes boarding from the beach a breeze.

"We have always had generous space inside our boats but now thanks to the M3 transom we have been able to introduce up to 200mm of extra interior space on some of largest models, while also aiding buoyancy aft and overall stability," Duncan said.
