New Quintrex 455 Freedom Sport Unveiled at the Brisbane Boat Show

As a result of public demand for an entry level bowrider, Quintrex, Australia's premium aluminium boat manufacturer has released the exciting new 455 Freedom Sport at the launch of the Brisbane Boat Show.

"It's an extremely practical layout, boasting all the bowrider unique features packed into a compact size, making it an ideal choice for the novice boatie" comments Lavinia Gorse-Flint, PR and Marketing Assistant. "Measuring 4.78M overall, this boat has a carrying capacity of five, yet is easy to launch and manoeuvre - factors which usually intimidate a first-timer".

Bowriders are a popular style boat - due to their incredible versatility, "they perform three boating functions - which is sure to keep all members of the family happy. The 455 Freedom Sport can do family cruising, fishing with your mates and tubing / skiing with the kids" comments Lavinia.

"This model 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 optional 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 and a convertible ski-pole and cutting board and you'll have endless days of fun in the summer" states Lavinia.

Despite its compact size, this boat offers superb tracking and performance thanks to the Millennium Hull, praised as the most advanced hull created in pressed aluminium, due to the company's unique ability to create a variable dead rise in the bottom sheets (3mm).

Precise turns are gained through the hull's sharp leading edge, which cuts through swell to provide a smooth, comfortable ride and the flattened out chines provide exceptional stability at rest. Side sheets (1.6mm) are also shaped to deflect spray away from the boat, keeping passengers dry.

Quintrex is praised for its focus on innovation and providing features most competitors consider options. The 455 Freedom Sport comes standard with all alloy core hatches - to prevent warping, underfloor flotation, Roto-moulded anchor well to reduce noise, various grab rails for safety, folding rear lounge, two rod holders, fold-down drink holders, lockable glove box and rear telescopic ladder for easy boarding along the Maxi 2 Transom - handy when boating with children.

Recommended horsepower for this model is 40hp, maximum 60hp - for those wanting extra power. The 70 litre underfloor fuel tank is US Coast Guard approved, and features an expansion chamber for safer refuelling, to give added peace of mind.

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 40hp Johnson 2 stroke outboard, Quintrex trailer, 3 year factory backed BMT warranty, boat and trailer registrations and safety gear from $19,995 (excluding dealer delivery charges).
