Quintrex 1968 Fishabout Restoration 

what a great story, it was his late brothers boat, these guys see so many of their mates die - some agonisingly slowly from cancer, I would have loved to hear some of the adventures they both had in that boat together. Thanks for posting this.

Brilliant makeover just goes to show they are never dead a little bit of work and look what you have got .

Wow great restoration, pitty it couldn’t get a better motor to go with

I have the exact same boat...and have been restoring it myself....sanding it all down and now im ready for paint.

I brought an old quintrex 4.1m hull. Someone elses unfinished project. Put some new bung plugs in and a new brace plate and took it fir a water test.... completely dry boat! I couldn't believe it! And such a great looking hull!

Hope the old boy enjoys it. Great job guys.

I just love old boats. Looks beautiful.

Fantastic well done quintrex

The stories of his brother and the fishing trip done in that boat probably gets passed down to his grandson now. And I bet it’s gone through some trailers too in it time .

That's cool... neat boats.

Well done

A really nice thing to do for that family!

I have the same boat. Just starting the restoration.

🙌🏻Wonderful you blessed them no end ☝🏻👌🏻🏆👍🏻T O P J O B

That old badger not going to even be able to get it in the bloody water, they should’ve picked someone who would actually use it

Total cost of a restoration like this?

What was the avg cost of a restoration like this???????

Does anybody know the weight of the hull? I have this model also 🙂 but can't find any info anywhere...

did you remove the black RUBBER from under the RIBS ?????????????????????????

Y wouldn't you just give him a new boat

I bet a wooden boat or fibreglass would be in the tip by now, aluminium is also recycled.

Quintrex Rule

Thursday week

Destroyed it with that engine.

Nice gesture Quintrex but you let yourselves down by fitting that outboard.Surely after all that resto work your bottom line would'nt have suffered too much by fitting a decent motor to the old girl.

Why restore with a shit outboard when you could have given a new boat?

The old bloke spoke too much.

no wonder the Quintrex range are overpriced 100%....they do shit like this for people.
