Kev the quintrex is a good boat for its size and weight its got its own pros and cons . good things going for it is light and easy to handle on your own compared to the fibreglass boats will be cheaper on fuel and easier to tow being lighter. can be a bit more rough with a aluminium hull than a fibreglass boat when beaching it at ramps and rock foreshores. will not handle seas as well than the fibre glass boats but for a first boat the quintrex would be ample in most bay spots. i had 1 for years and in good weather you can sneak off shore to some close reefs. the seafarer has been a good boat for years as well but as you can tell i like my tinnies
