The team at JCM are proud to offer the discerning buyer yet another quality “wow” boat for sale now, on the boat yard at John Crawford Marine.

This stunning and heavily optioned Quintrex 550 Freestyler with a low 106 hours use, was delivered new in December 2019 and fulfills the desire to combine fishing with family with social with water sports – all in one package!

First Impressions

umAs much as I love writing our supporting marketing material, the Quintrex Freestyler range has many an experienced boating journalist complete detailed write ups that can be easily found online already, let alone the videos you can find online on YouTube so alas; I won't repeat what's already been said other than – the Freestylers are one of the best allrounders for the bay you could own!

As outlined in detail below, just compare the options and add them up over a standard package and see the value on offer, this rig may even suit a new boat buyer who doesn’t want to pay RRP nor wait however long the Quintrex “waitlist” is.

The Motor

For the social boatie and water sports enthusiast, you will love the big block 135Hp Mercury that has a tonne of torque for towing tubes/wakeboards and tubes. Power we all want power, and this rig is fitted with the big block high CC Mercury 135Hp that delivers that and more! Spinning a Mercury “Inertia” stainless steel 3 blade prop, steering via the hydraulic system and fueled with approx. 98l underfloor capacity range, economy and reliability are a sure bet!

With the engines pre-sale computer report completed verifying the low 106 hours use and the mechanical pre-sale reporting, buyers can confidence with this stunning package and outboard.

Also, the engines annual service is up to date as being completed by our local Mercury dealer in December 2020.

On the Water

The helm is fitted with Mercury’s “Active Trim” and “Vessel View” system with light steering via the hydraulic system installed all to help make the skippers day as easy as possible when towing. A stainless-steel ski pole is fitted and lots of overhead sun protection if on the water all day in summer.

The angler isn't forgotten either, with the bow mount electric motor from Minn Kota, this is one of the top of the range systems called an Ulterra, this model being the 60” RT80 Auto deploying model.

Also including the dual battery system/battery charger/spot lock/self-deploy that this incredible innovative machine has to offer – again – check out the videos on this on YouTube, may never anchor again when fishing!

Fishing features continue with upgraded live bait tank, walk through transom, huge bait board, quality Humminbird Solix 10MSi G2 sounder/GPS, deck wash, lots of rod holders and the bow lounge can be converted to a casting deck!

On the Trailer

Trailering and launching/retrieving couldn’t be easier thanks to the boat sitting on an in house built aluminium Quintrex trailer that marries to the hull. For those with some experience, even a boat “LatchandCatch” has been fitted allowing drive and off!

The trailer has also been receipted with a $1,000 plus upgrade being completed December 2020 by having the draw bar modified to allow it to “swing”. Due to moving houses, the owner needed to be able to shorten the overall length to fit back into the garage! (Note when I use, the frame has to rest on a stand, not the jockey wheel for safety)

The trailer compliments the stylish lines of the hull with painted dress alloys (includes a spare wheel), white plastic guards fitted to the alloy I beam trailer.
