Quintrex Fish Raider project boat
Quintrex Fish Raider project boat, 45 year old boat restoration at Evolution Marine.
A 45-year-old Quintrex Fish Raider with a well‑proven hull design is ideal for restoration and conversion to a modern centre console fishing boat.
An enthusiastic customer was keen to see the boat back on the water and could see value in pursuing his project.
After initial assessment of hull condition and preparing estimated cost we were given the go‑ahead to start restoring the Quintrex.
If you like the idea of restoring an old boat we are happy to discuss your project and help with advice and assistance. Before purchasing an older boat we recommend a pre‑purchase inspection.
