Quintrex 420 Renegade SC Testimonial
Purchased a new Quintrex Renegade 420 SC from Hunts Marine Wollongong and couldn't be happier. Peter took the time to explain the features of the boat confirming it was what I was after. On delivery, Peter explained everything on the hull, motor and trailer in detail and offered ongoing future support. I would recommend Hunts Marine Wollongong to anyone wanting to purchase a new or used boat. Thank you, Peter and the team at Hunts Marine Wollongong for the great customer service experience. Best regards,

Quintrex 390 Outback with 25hp Yamaha Testimonial
I recently picked up a brand new F390 Outback Explorer with a 25 HP Yamaha from Hunts Marine. I have been kayaking for many years and decided that I wanted a boat. I looked at many different boat sellers to try and find information on a small runabout that would suit my needs. My last stop was Hunts Marine where I spoke to John Pigot, a very knowledgeable member of the sales team. I had no experience with boating and he walked me through options based on my needs. I saw the boat that I wanted and the rest is history. The boat is exceptional and does everything I need it to do and then some. The Yamaha is very powerful pushing the 3.9m pickle fork front with two big blokes in it to speeds of 22 knots in relatively calm open water. She is spritely yet comfortable with plenty of space for fishing. Perfect for skinny estuaries and quite capable in shuttling along and fishing in the harbour. The team at Hunts have been perfect to deal with, helping me with all my questions which I have had plenty. Jon Hunt the owner also gave me.........
