At one end of the 6m bowrider spectrum we have nice, soft riding, fine handling 'glass bowriders.

And at the other end, we have the simplicity, practicality, and all round toughness of their metal competitors which (to be kind about it) could never be accused of having a soft ride, or the kind of nimble handling useful for towing wake toys - a role family boats like bowriders tend to be used for at some stage. The two ends of this spectrum are so dissimilar that it's difficult to imagine a boat which draws a line down the middle, yet that's precisely what Quintrex's 610 Freedom Sport does. It's a "tinnie" whichever way you look at it. However, it's a tinnie with ride and handling characteristics approaching the best of its 'glass competitors …the Freedom Sports shares its high sides, flared bow and variable dead rise hull with offshore fishing boats in Quintrex's lineup and literally stands tall among generally low-sided 6m bowriders. In many favourite Australian boating locations, more freeboard is a good thing.

Whether you're nervously eyeing "snapping handbags" (curious crocs) in the Top End or facing a nasty chop in Port Phillip Bay, the Freedom Sport's ample freeboard adds up to extra peace of mind. The Freedom Sport line has always been adaptable to fairly serious fishing, but when you add that at 6m this boat can be a useful offshore fisher, the total exceeds the sum of its parts and so this boat really is something special - and deserves closer inspection. Put simply, the bowrider gives you a lot more floor space for eating, carrying extra passengers and moving around the boat than half cabin style. Quintrex has much higher gunnels/freeboard (height between water and inside of boat) than many of the American fibreglass style boats like Bayliner. Most boating in the US is done in lakes and rivers without significant waves, and so they build their boats for that sort of environment (low sides, close to the water).

But for safety and comfort in Australia you need a high sided boat that can handle the typical waves we get in the coastal and harbour areas of NSW, and you need a self-draining hull and emergency flotation of this boat. This Freedom Sport is a true all-rounder that can do fishing, water skiing, cruising, offshore and even camping
