Quintrex Launches 540 & 580 Freedom Cruiser

Quintrex Redefines Cruising with the New Freedom Cruiser

For the first time, Quintrex have incorporated the engine into the stern of the boat,

creating Quintrex’s most luxurious models, the 540 and 580 Freedom Cruisers.

The newest editions to the Freedom Sport range, the Freedom Cruiser models sport

sleek lines, plenty of space and a plush interior for pleasure filled cruising.

Quintrex National Sales & Marketing Manager Damien Duncan said the Freedom Cruiser range

sees a complete transformation of the transom.

“The 540 and 580 Freedom Cruisers mark a ground-breaking step for Quintrex and medium

sized aluminium boats in Australia. It demonstrates the flexibility, adaptability and capability of

our Research and Development team in meeting customer and dealer demands,” Damien said.

“Quintex’s famous Maxi 2 Transom has been transformed into a large rear boarding platform

and the engine is effectively housed inside the hull, delivering an exceptionally quiet ride.

“The transformation makes way for a luxurious sun lounge and a boarding platform, perfect for

fitting skis, launching wakeboards, fishing or just sitting and enjoying the view.

“We’ve also added a new sports steering wheel, passenger and driver bucket seats and overall

introduced more space to the boat.

“The 540 and 580 Freedom Cruisers allow Quintrex to infiltrate new markets, providing an

opportunity to showcase the Millennium Hull and Flared Bow combination.

“In 2004, the Australian market sold 1,800 imported glass stern drives and in 2005, 3,000 were

sold. The complete boat, motor, trailer package makes competitive pricing possible with the

added versatility of being aluminium,” he said.

Powered by Mercruiser engines, the 540 boasts a 3.0 Litre 135 horsepower Stern Drive while

the 580 features a gutsy 4.3 Litre 190 horsepower Stern Drive.

Operated with a concealed side panel mount control unit, the Freedom Cruisers come standard

with easy Turn Key Starting Technology for easy starting every time and the anit-feedback

power steering makes handling a breeze.

The 540 Freedom Cruiser can carry up to seven passengers and measures 6.3 metres overall

while the 580 measures 6.55 metres overall and can easily transport up to eight people.

Both models boast 4mm bottomsides and 2mm topsides and measure 2.38 metres across the

beam.

Standard features include multifunction side panels, deluxe seating, dashboard and glove box,

carpeted floor, rear alloy telescopic ladder, a central ski hook and two underfloor and two

engine bay storage compartments to name only a few.

Optional features include a bimini-ski tube rack, bimini, front clears, side curtains, storm cover,
