Razgo Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 (edited) Hi, has anyone investigated the new model 440 busta or seen any video footage? Only found one video on the new 420 busta. I have been looking at the 520 dory for my needs, camping, crabbing, fishing in that order. Rivers estuaries, bay. The dory seems to be a great fit for me. But then came along the new busta model, particularly the 440 with 2.11beam. Also pricing I think is a lot cheaper than the dory when I compare features of both standard. Will end up choosing between those 2. Thoughts on the new busta quintrex? Cheers... 😁 Edited June 15, 2021 by Razgo Spell. Check Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noelm Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 Isn't the Busta just the cheaper version of the same basic boat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Razgo Posted June 16, 2021 Author Share Posted June 16, 2021 (edited) I thought the Max 40 hp on the 520 was a little odd. But the 520 is 116kg lighter by the looks of it. Edited June 16, 2021 by Razgo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi mate- Had a quick google search & looks like the 520Dory is actually rated to max 60hp.... (I've got a 40hp on a 420Dory, it goes great but I think it would be well underpowered for a 520!)

Razgo Posted June 17, 2021 Author Share Posted June 17, 2021 Cheers for that. It was probably what I saw listed on quintrex site that package was for a 40hp. So yeah an F60 makes sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
