My New Quintrex 520 Renegade
I thought i would just share my new rig with you all. A Quintrex 520 Renegade centre console with 100HP Yamaha
I have been working pretty hard to save the cash for this boat and I am over the moon that i have finally got a boat designed just how i wanted it.
A few things that i got done to this boat were.
4mm bottom upgrade to go with the already 3mm sides
Raised casting deck so i can fit a 110L esky underfloor
Painted the inside and side decks, i love my crabbing so i always wanted the outside of my hull unpainted.
6 seat positions
second rear step
I have obviously put a 80lb Minn Kota up front, these things have really changed they way i fish. The Mrs loves the fact that she doesnt have to throw out the anchor rope anymore over wrecks or reef. Happy wife happy life!
Lowrance HDS10 with structure scan along with a sonic hub
I also went with the X3 Square LAN guages to go with my Yamaha F100
Having the full fuel management system is fantastic, i basically get the same KM per RPM. fully loaded with fuel and 5 people i get 61km per hour top speed with an alloy prop.
Sitting on 4000 RPM I am getting 2.8km per litre.
Overall very excitted to finally have my new boat, and it is designed just how i have always wanted.
Having a bigger boat now i am looking forward to many new adventures.

I wouldnt say Quintrex are doing custom jobs but they are now willing to discuss factory options

Congrats on the new ride mate. Looks awesome .
How are going setup up your hds 10? I had mine for 6 months and finally pulled my finger out to fine tune her a couple weeks ago. If you haven't done it just google it and there are some amazing set up video on the new hds gen 2.

Hi Hayzie, looks a fantastic setup - like the high sides and flexibility with the seating positions (including a skippers seat as well). Also like the idea of just painting the inside of the boat. Have fun.
Cheers,
Ash

Great looking rig, painted inside is a nice touch.
Strong like Mother Russia and as tight as a Guinea fowl's hamstring!
