When it comes to navigating Australia’s diverse and often
unpredictable waterways, having a boat with a reliable and expertly designed
hull is crucial. That’s why Quintrex, one of Australia’s most trusted
aluminium boat manufacturers, puts so much emphasis on innovation below the
waterline. Their range of patented hull designs isn’t just a nod to modern
engineering; it’s a reflection of decades of research, feedback from real-world
boaters, and a commitment to making boating safer, smoother, and more enjoyable
for everyone.
Quintrex’s patented hulls are designed to meet the varied
demands of Australian waters, from calm inland rivers to choppy coastal bays.
Each hull style is tailored to suit different boating needs, whether it's
stability for fishing, comfort in rough water, or added deck space for day
trips. Here’s a closer look at what makes these designs stand out.
Apex Hull
Leading the charge in innovation is the Apex Hull. Grounded
in years of research and on-water testing, the Apex Hull has revolutionised the
aluminium boating industry. Its wider, sharper entry point and higher sides offer
a smoother, drier ride with superior stability. The Apex Hull boats are
built to handle it with ease and confidence.
Blade Hull
For those who frequently boat in rough or unpredictable
waters, the Blade Hull is a game-changer. It’s known for its sharp, sleek profile
and variable deadrise, which allows the hull to slice through choppy water effortlessly.
The result? A smoother ride, better handling, and increased comfort, especially
when conditions are less than ideal. The Blade Hull boats are the go-to choice
for boaters who don’t let a bit of wind or swell keep them ashore.
Flared Bow
One of Quintrex’s signature features is the Flare Bow. This unique
design uses a concave shape made possible by Quintrex’s exclusive
stretch-forming process, which shapes aluminium like no one else in the
industry. The flared bow lifts the front of the boat more efficiently,
deflecting spray away from passengers and contributing to a drier, more
comfortable ride. It’s a small detail with a big impact on your boating
experience.
Eclipse Hull
The Eclipse Hull is ideal for those who want maximum stability
without sacrificing performance. Combining the flat bottom stability of a traditional
punt with the superior handling of a V-shaped hull, it’s a fantastic option for
anglers and recreational boaters alike. Whether you’re standing up to cast or
bringing the kids along for a day on the water, the Eclipse Hull offers a
stable and reliable platform.
Fighter Series Bow
Finally, the Fighter Series Bow brings something extra to
the front of the boat. Its forked shape increases usable front deck and casting
platform space by up to 11%. That means more room for gear, movement, or just
relaxing up front. It’s a practical advantage for serious anglers and casual
boaters alike who want to make the most of every inch on board.
Built for Aussie Conditions
Quintrex’s patented hull designs prove that what’s
underneath your boat matters just as much as what’s on it. No matter what your
preference, there’s a Quintrex hull designed to handle it and to help you enjoy
every moment on the water
