Great things take time

True to its name, the Apex Hull offers the pinnacle of on-water performance. You have never seen or experienced a boat quite like this before!

Blade Hull

Blade Hull

The Quintrex Blade Hull cuts through rough water like a knife with its sharp, sleek shape and variable deadrise. Designed to deflect spray further aft, Quintrex delivers an impressively dry ride. Plus, the Blade Hull achieves increased hull efficiency by balancing the convex and concave shapes, to offer lower planing speeds and an 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 aluminum. The curve of side sheets deflects spray away from the hull to keeps passengers dry. In rough conditions, the flared bow aids in lift and recovery.

Eclipse Hull

The Eclipse 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 achieves all-round stability, aids planing and disperses choppy water.

Fighter Series Bow

Fighter Series Bow

The forked-shape of the Quintrex Fighter Series Bow delivers up to 11% more front deck and casting platform space compared to traditional v-nose punts. Whilst the wide beam 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 easier installations of electric motors.**

**The Fighter Series Bow is available on select Quintrex boat models only.
