What Makes the 500 Fishabout a Smart Choice

While final specs may vary depending on the rigging and options chosen, the Quintrex 500 Fishabout is typically celebrated for:

  • Compact Size with Room to Move — It’s small enough to tow easily and launch without hassle, yet spacious enough for fishing gear, tackle, and passengers.
  • Stable Hull Design — Built for pleasure and performance, it’s engineered to deliver a steady ride in estuaries, sheltered bays, and near-coastal conditions.
  • Fishing-Friendly Layout — Expect plenty of practical features like rod holders, live bait tank or provision for it, casting platforms, and good storage under decks.
  • Lightweight & Durable Construction — Aluminium build makes it both rugged and relatively low-maintenance; a go-anywhere boat that can take some knocks.

Ideal Scenarios for the 500 Fishabout

This boat suits many boating lifestyles, especially if you:

  • Want a starter boat or secondary boat for quick weekend trips or fishing spots near home.
  • Frequently fish in sheltered waters (creeks, rivers, estuaries) or bay areas where calm but responsive performance matters.
  • Value ease of ownership — simplicity in launching, minimal trailering fuss, and lower maintenance.
  • Need a reliable craft for a small group — fishing buddies, family of 2-3 — without needing big infrastructure.
