Quintrex, Australia's leading aluminum boat manufacturer, has released its exciting new 480 Freedom Sport. With the Christmas holiday period ahead, those looking to invest in their family's lifestyle will appreciate the versatility this stylish model has to offer.

Bowriders are a popular style boat - due to their incredible flexibility, "they perform three boating functions - family cruising, fishing with your mates and tubing/ skiing with the kids, comments Damien Duncan, National Sales and Marketing Manager.

Measuring 5.04M overall, the 480 Freedom Sport offers a bigger hull able to carry a greater horsepower rating (maximum 80HP, recommended 60HP), yet is still easily trailerable behind a medium 4 cylinder family car.

On-water performance is unmatched with the famed Millennium Hull, Flared Bow and Maxi 2 Transom combination, "the Millennium Hull has a fine leading edge which slices through chop and is engineered to effortlessly lift the boat up onto the plane, while the Flared Bow pushes and curls the water up and away from the sides of the hull to provide a smooth, dry ride for passengers" says Damien.

With advanced level flotation for unrivalled safety, alloy core hatches - to prevent warping, Roto-moulded anchor well for durability, various grab rails for safety, two rod holders, practical bimini and envelope and rear telescopic ladder for easy boarding on to the Maxi 2 Transom, especially handy when boating with children, this model has plenty to offer for trouble-free, safe and happy boating.

The 480 Freedom Sport featured an impressive internal layout with distinctive ergonomically-designed side panelling, "this improved aesthetic appearance really sets a benchmark within aluminum boats, as Quintrex increasingly closes the visual-gap between aluminium and fibreglass boats", comments Damien.

"Stylish, moulded side panels gives a sleek finish. Upholstery is deep cushioned for support and has a more streamlined look and innovative features such as moulded drink-holders and side storage panels are useful for handy items like sunscreen, maps and fishing rods", comments Damien.

"Bowriders offers unrivalled flexibility, one minute you are relaxing in the bowrider lounge section, once you have found a place to cast a line - simply remove the padded cushions and place in the bunk infill and you have the perfect forward casting platform to catch your lunch. For the family who appreciates on-water action, add a pair of optional ski hooks or a convertible ski-pole and cutting board and you'll have endless days of fun in the summer", states Damien.

This year, Quintrex introduced "Instant Boating" whereby consumers can buy a complete premium boat, motor and trailer package with the satisfaction of knowing warranties are factory backed and dealers are trained with expert knowledge and skills. This racy new model is ready for "Instant Boating" matched with premium 70HP 4 Stroke Johnson outboard, Quintrex trailer, 3 year factory backed BMT warranty, boat and trailer registrations and safety gear for an affordable $28,045 (excluding dealer delivery charges).
