Quintrex Hulls: Engineered for Every Australian Waterway

25 Jun 2025

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
