DMacLeod Posted April 17, 2023 Report Share Posted April 17, 2023 Anyone know anything about these ? There's one 75 miles North I am thinking about looking at tomorrow. Motor is a 2020 60HP The Riddler 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billybob Posted April 17, 2023 Report Share Posted April 17, 2023 Never been on one, but I have admired them, and hear only good things about them. I think they are an Aussie boat, and you don't see many. Definately worth a look IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
makorider Posted April 17, 2023 Report Share Posted April 17, 2023 (edited) Aussie rings a bell in my head as well, BB beat me to it I would have to guess that thing would be a lot more solid than your average tin can with that integrated swim platform tying it all together Engine that size?? Etec ALL the way! Edited April 17, 2023 by makorider Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMacLeod Posted April 17, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2023 The only thing that has me skeptical is the layout. Fishing in choppy stuff seems like it would be like fishing on a paddle board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slicedcornbread Posted April 17, 2023 Report Share Posted April 17, 2023 Real solid boats Dave. I'd love to have one. For freshwater fishing, that deck layout is nice. I'd probably want something different if salt is the intended usage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was kind of thinking something for fresh and salt. slicedcornbread 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a dual console Quintrex down this way in Attleboro that might be a little more suitable for dual purpose. If you do a FB Marketplace search, it should pop up for you. It has a 90 hp Suzuki 4 stroke and a couple thousand more in price than this one you're looking at. I think the one up your way is in much better shape though.

If the first one was set up open floor like a Lund Fury it would perfect. slicedcornbread 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to go up with 10K in hand and see if they wanted to really sell it. They are asking 11.5. Trying to change the inside over could get expensive though. slicedcornbread 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a fishing vessel all the way. High gunnels, handles chop well, nice open deck. Mine is the 18ft version of that original pic in your post. I have a 100hp Yamaha on mine. Light enough that it can be towed by most vehicles easily even with gear and a full tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kima Posted April 17, 2023 Report Share Posted April 17, 2023 That boat is a bass boat and this is the third time I've seen it come up for sale. It's been bouncing around New England for probably 5 or 6 years now (at least that I've seen). I've always liked it but I don't do enough freshwater fishing. I have a couple Quintrex: a 17 side console and a 21 cabin boat. They're perfect for me. They're deep, heavy, fully welded out of thick metal. If I remember correctly the bottoms are 5mm plate. I've had the 17 out to the windmills behind Block Island a few times. The shape of their "Millennium hull" rides soft and dry (for a metal boat anyway). I've also spent time on a 17 Widebody Dory which is a great boat. I love them both but you'll have to pry the wheel of the 17 from my cold dead hands.
