Caine1 Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 g'day, currently have a Quintrex Fishabout II, two motors both Mercs (30 and a 6 - backup), new bimini, tilt trailer etc. It is an excellent first boat and exceptionally well built. I am, however, looking to upgrade and want to spend about 10k. I would 'really' prefer aluminium as I like the fact they don't have to be nursed as much. The larger the better and would love it to be quieter than the fishabout as my son loves the boat but it can be a little loud when giving it some throttle. So am looking for some brands etc on what to target and maybe some examples. Have been scouring a popular boating site for a few days now. Cheers.

They are pretty tough (in some ways tougher than aluminium) and will out perform your tinnie (ride, stability). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
