Quintrex 510 Ocean Spirit with 90hp 4 Stroke Suzuki Testimonial
When enquiring about purchasing a replacement boat the salesman John Padman could not be more helpful. He took the time and effort to answer all my questions and to point out all the pros and cons. I believe the price offered was a very good and fair price and value for money. Hunts Marine matched and bettered any other offer by other dealerships. The after sales service by John Padman on behalf of Hunts Marine has been second to none. I will definitely deal with John and Hunts Marine in the future. Thank you John and well done to Hunts Marine.
