They had a brand new 610 quintrex runabout for mid 50s ....
Clearly not recommending just sayin

Not bad but bit far away

Went and had a look at some boats on the weekend at one of the dealers.

We are pretty set on getting something in the 6m range. Saw a 2004 Haines Hunter 600 classic offshore which was a good mix of fishing space and comfort.

Also seen a few tournament 2000 bluewaters online which I like the look off.

One thing I did learn is that I would probably never buy a used boat from a dealer. Every single one of them looked like that boat that had been left to sit for a few years and then sold when cash was needed. I figure anyone who looks after their boat and takes pride in it would be confident in selling it privately rather than trade it in.

Hey mate I am selling my boat. Fits your budget and requirements.

Happy to take out for a demo if you are genuinely interested. PMed you

Is this the one you were looking at https://www.jvmarine.com.au/boat/?boat_ ... 20RUNABOUT

Haven't really looked at Quintrex boats. Not sure why, I've just assumed they were more of a bay/estuary boat.

6mt quintrex ride fairly hard i been told
