Mutt Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 Hey! I am looking at purchasing a 2004 Quintrex 475 Coastrunner with a 60hp 2 strokeYamaha. Price sounds good! It's a fair way out of Sydney so will probably drive there over the weekend and have an on water test. Have already had a quick visual of the boat and engine. I just want to know any specs for this boat, particularly an approximate weight. Will I be able to tow it with a Mazda V6 Tribute as is? I'm updating from a tinny with a 15hp so pretty excited! Just want to get offshore a bit on good days. Any other info/comments on would be greatly appreciated. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juggs Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 i cant give you a exact weight but you can work it out yamaha 60hp 106kg trailer 240kg a new quintrex 470 coastrunner is 470kg 60l of fuel 52kg anchor chain rope 30kg so a base of 900kg and by the time it has everything else added, spare tyre saftey gear radios second batteries and so on probably another 1-200kg the mazda from memory can tow around 1600kg braked depending on year model and engine type but beware most of them come with those cheap 750kg towbars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mutt Posted October 2, 2012 Author Share Posted October 2, 2012 Thanks so much, it's hard finding this info out. I currently have a 3.75m tinny with a 15hp and obviously have no problems towing that. I just wanted to know if there was anything I needed to do to my car before towing the boat back. Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mutt Posted October 4, 2012 Author Share Posted October 4, 2012 Fantastic info! This is exactly what I was looking for, I really appreciate it. Just one more quick one, how do they handle offshore? Was only thinking of getting to reefs within a few kilometers on good days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locodave Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 You wil be fine with the Mazda Tribute!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaz Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 Mate, perfect for that type of fishing on the right days. As per most kidney bashers, drive to the conditions. They are a fairly dry boats and handle well enough off shore. Gaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
