Thanks Brent, the Smartwave 3500 is a terrific family boat and your professional help and assistance was appreciated.

It was a pleasure dealing with Blake at the Yallah branch of Hunts Marine. He assisted me in deciding the most suitable boat for my needs. They were: shallow water launching, able to carry 5 adults and to have forward steering. Blake also delivered the boat earlier than was expected. Despite my 50 yrs boating experience he still ran through all that was required for the use of the motor and boat including maintenance. I have no hesitation in recommending Blake to anyone considering the purchase of an aluminium runabout.

I love our boat, it is ideal for 1st time motor boat owners. We received good service, if there were any problems these were corrected quickly and happily. We feel we can approach Hunts with any problems in the future and would recommend your company.

Would like to thank Blake and his team for putting the package I wanted together. Excellent service and very professional team and I have recommended Hunts Marine to friends if they want great service. Thanks for the boat boys, having a blast on the water. The Evinrude 50hp runs like a treat.

First of all I would like to say thanks to Blake and his staff from Hunts Marine of Wollongong, your knowledge and support both at your shop as well as the boat show was great to say the least. The F481 Hornet stood up to all expectation I was after and more, the handling in and out of the water with the new trailer was brilliant, the boat was set up exactly as I asked. The towing of the boat was better than I expected, highway speed was as though it wasn't even on the back.

I had a chance to get it in the water on the afternoon of pick up, I went straight to St George's Basin NSW and with only one push it slid off the trailer without any problems at all. At speed it handled superbly, after you alter the trim it even went better. On return I drove it straight on and just lent over the front and secured it to the trailer then drove out without any issues. (Blake told me you can just drive it on and off and he was right, it's great).

The motor started up first go and people on the wharf thought it was a 4 stroke and were very surprised to find out it was a 2 stroke. The 90HP ETEC has pleanty of grunt for this boat.

I would have no hesitation at all to recommend Hunts Marine to anyone. Lots of fun to come. Thanks Blake. Regards,

Hi, I bought a Quintrex F481 Hornet from Hunts Marine from Brad Cottier, (at the Sydney Boatshow) and from day one I was impressed. Not only did I receive a great boat package but Brad was Honest, and knows his product which is important when buying a boat because fisherman are extremely fussy when it comes to boats. My F481 Hornet has a 90 ETEC on the back which is perfectly matched to the boat for my needs, it has actually exceeded my expectations as far as performance.

I chose the ETEC because of previous experiences I've had with them, this is my third over my fishing career and I've never had an issue as far as reliability, economy, and of course power.With a few goodies we added to the boat like rod locker, extra plumbed live bait tank, Minn Kota, and a great 7" sounder/gps, it is hard to not be more happy with this boat. I have bought boats from a few places now in the past 30 years but the service I get from Hunts is a new experience, they answer phones, questions, and are boat and water sport professionals.

I would recommend and have already, Hunts Marine to anyone looking for a boat to suit any kind of water sport. great Experience. Thanks.

I have traded in my 310 Dart on a 400 Dart L/S, the whole transaction was very satisfactory and so was my trade in offer. The salesman I dealt with was Ian who was very helpful with his boating knowledge and practical advise. I have also had some dealings with other floor staff who were also helpful and polite.

I will certainly recommend you to everyone contemplating buying a boat - all the best. I love my new boat.

Hi Jon, it is with pleasure that I provide the following notes on my recent purchase of a Quintrex Trident 610 Hardtop. My sales person was Mr Ian Coops. From beginning to end, with many, many emails and phone calls in-between, Ian remained responsive and courteous (and very knowledgable in a most practical way). I am a scientist by 'trade' and this is my fourth boat, and by far, the best one. At well over $100,000 it was not cheap; I wanted all sorts of gear on the Trident, as I plan to go out, and stay out, overnight. The work done by Hunts by first rate and believe me (as an amateur engineer on top of being a scientist) I am pedantic and demanding. I make my own parts on a lathe and know a fair bit about GPSs, radars, rate compasses and so on. Although there were a few scratches and chips on the paint, here and there, I am pretty sure these were done by Quintrex, at the factory, not Hunts. The Trident also has a StressFree anchor and trailer winch, and a BoatLatch, the latter being well known as 'tricky to fit'. Everything was done properly at Hunts.

One of the things that really amazed me (and still does) is that as I added on extras, some of which were expensive, the total price didn't really go up all that much. The fitment done by Hunts was class; no threaded nuts or bolts, sealant applied properly, and all the gear working perfectly on pick-up. The trailer winch flexed quite a bit when recovering the boat, but again, was set up according to the manufacturer, so thumbs up! (Since then I have added 4 M9 Stainless Steel nuts/bolts and the flexing has gone).

I do need to mention the camping body, arranged by Hunts and done by Mobile Boat Covers (http://www.mobileboatcovers.com.au/). It fits; it's pretty; it can be rolled up or taken off completely in a minute; and almost no rain gets in. And, I can still walk all around the boat; well done Mobile Boat Covers. And the roof (the Bimini) is cantilevered, so there are only a single set of poles on a 6.3 m (LOA) boat. Whether fishing or relaxing, that extra space is worth gold in my opinion.

Finally, my fourth (and last) boat ran 80 km/h (43 knots) on our first test run in Sydney, just as Hunts said it would. I wholeheartedly and unconditionally recommend Hunts Marine. Real professions in world where that term is looking a little 'bankrupted'. It was, and continues to be, a pleasure dealing with Hunts Marine. I am quite comfortable being contacted over this testimonial on laughlin327@gmail.com. I live and work in Canberra, and play in Jervis Bay. I am happy for my words to be published, of course.
