You looking at new or second hand. I know tapout has a 560 cabin that he is selling. I thing he wants about 30K. I haven't been out with him yet but he has been out at the containers back of rotto when i have been there so can't be to bad a boat. He has a 90hp Honda so good fuel.

Have been out on my mates 455 runabout and they handle prety well. Same thing though with any tinny it will be a hard ride when punching through heavy seas. Have a look around and if you can arrange a test ride on an ordinary day to see how they handle.

I am looking at new but if i see something i like secondhand then i may change my mind.

Yeh agree with Steve, do a boat test in "open water" and when it's "average ie in the arvo"......best time to test a boat especially being a big commitment....all the best with your purchase!

its not a millenium hul (could only wish) i have a coast runner 5m boat. good boat, handles well. It dos thump when heading into the seas but hey what ali doesnt, just drive to the conditions. Have been out on one millenium hull quiny and yes the milenium hull is stable and pushes the spray  out wide  so you dont cop too much over the front. I take my quinny out wide alot and it rocks. 40km in the old girl seams far but as lng as your comfortable  and nnot nervous then you are all good just remeber  that if you stay much longer after the seabreaze then it will be a rough and slappy ride back. i dont have a cabin tho just windscreen  and controls. i fish two people on the one side and that is fine stability wise.   One more thing when looking at these boats have a look at where you will mount things like your sounder and gps. as alot of them now have nt got room above on the dash to mount a decent size sounder. I do know a guy that just bought a 5m coast runner brand new and he has has to move the speed and rev gauges t the side of the boat so he could instal his new furuno into the dash as it wouldnt fit due to the windscreen. just another thought for you to consider. but all in all a lovely boat to own and easy to use with one person

hey guys i own a 620 freedom sport,we upgraded from the 5.8,this boat is actuall 6.35 in lengtch 5mm bottom and 4 mm sides,comes with 150 hp yammy 4 stroke,trim tabs which i love.. flared bow and millenium hull,all in all a great combination, at first the only downfall bout this rig i though it didnt hold enough fuel,120litres ,but we have motored all day around nato reefs etc,down to coral lumps and back in less than half a tank.. truly awesome boats,rocket launchers and 5 underfloor bunged,storage/kill tanks,deck wash and dual batteries equipped with the latest foruno sounder 8.5 inch fcv 585,and lowrance gps make this a mighty boat.. good thing is guys these things hold their value,after 1 yr with a 5.8 we got all out money back on upgrade..i think the hardcab cc is overall the meanest quinny out.. but $100,000

I think its a toss up between the quintrx 520 spirit or the trail craft
540 trailblazer!

have a look at a westerberg mate solid as .u will feel the difference.not as bone shattering ride.ive got the 5.28m and when igo in my mates quinnys they feel like a 10foot tinnie compared to my pig.

mind if i ask what it set you back $$$?
