Quintrex Trident Hard Top

Quintrex says the Trident Hard Top which we tested in back in July, is one seriously tough offshore weapon, constructed with a sturdy underfloor rib structure and 5mm bottomsides of marine-grade aluminium.

Featuring the renowned Quintex Blade Hull and Flared Bow design, the sub-frame rib structure of the Trident is constructed with latitudinal ribs to reinforce strength and create a precise hull shape every time.

The Blade Hull cuts through swell like a knife and deflects spray for optimal performance while Stability is great as stability is great either underway or at rest.

Available as a 650 and 690 model, the Trident Hard Top design means you can enjoy your boat in all weather conditions, with a laminated hardened glass windscreen, sliding side windows and a standard windscreen wiper kit, your view is never interrupted.

The Hard Top design also features six new Reel Easy folding rod holders, which fold down individually thanks to a quick release pin mechanism, making it easy to stow and reach your rods.

The manufacturer says that with the serious fisherman in mind, extra attention has been applied to find the ultimate layout and design for when you’re reeling in a catch offshore, and the end result has created every fisherman’s dream boat.

The back deck sees a new live-bait tank complete with viewing window and new external pickup which allows water to circulate through the tank while under way, keeping your live bait fresh and easy to keep an eye on.

Your fishing favourites are all standard features including the new, wider and deeper bait station complete with cutting board, five rod holders, knife sheath and cup holders, while the 135-litre kill tank has plenty of room for those big catches and positioned across midships to create optimal weight distribution.

Quintrex National Account Manager Cameron Wood said the Trident HT had been very carefully designed and extensively tested to ensure the best overall product for the offshore fisherman.

"The Trident Hard Top really is one tough plate boat, each one is built by our expert plate boat team and involves over 60 hours of welding, to give you an idea of how much detail goes into these boats," he said.

"The checker-plate floor is fully welded and the structure of the entire boat is re-enforced with a solid T keel which is triple welded to the side sheet. You can really rely on these boats which is what you want when you’re offshore," Wood said.

The Quintrex Trident also features a twin battery setup, transom door, seat boxes with extra storage, a self-draining tread plate floor and four welded rod holders all as standard.

The Quintrex Trident is available as an Instant Boating Package complete with motor, Quintrex Trailer and a three-year limited, factory warranty.
