All comes down to want u want to use it for.
I have a stabi half cab 659 it's a great boat for out on the blue but not
So good in the rivers.
They wire and plumb for just about everything you can think of as standard.
Had a couple of Quinttrex which also did a good job.

If your after a good solid hull look at the seajay range, and quinflex don't even fall into the same class as a stabi...

Let's go back just a wee bit. The benchmark was an ocean master!! How about a Clark blowup, there's a better boat from the start.

Mates seajay cracked within 6 months of owning it due to 3mm bottoms and bracing that wasn't done right.

It is also alot wetter than the quintrex. If money wasn't an option the custom works are good. If you going blue water I would go the custom or stabi

If Barra fishing also, then the quintrex legend 610.

Stabi are a close second to OM. Comparing a stabi to a quintrex is like comparing a Audi to Holden.

Quintrex do have the best rides of all the pressed boats, but like all press boats they all crack.

Quintrex blade hulls are a lot heavier and more solid than the old millenium hulls solving the cracking problems. Driest ride as well compared to a lot of other hulls.
