Richardson Marine partners with leading brands Stabicraft, Quintrex, and Seacruiser, carefully chosen for their performance, safety, and suitability to South-West conditions.

Seacruiser is our original and exclusive range of premium, custom plate boats - making dreams reality for over 15 years. The Seacruiser brand was born from a lifelong passion for precision aluminium marine fabrication and today stands as a highly respected name in Australian made heavy-duty plate-alloy boats.

Founded by Wayne Howell and Ed Richardson, Seacruiser combines decades of hands-on experience in custom boat building. Together, they’ve crafted a range of robust, performance-driven boats renowned for their strength, quality, and reliability — trusted by serious anglers across Australia, even in the most remote waters.

While the Stabicraft range features some smaller, sub-5m models, the boats that have really taken the South-West Victorian market by storm have been the Supercab models from 5.6m and up, which offer protection from the elements via their hardtop, unrivalled stability and safety, whilst incremental improvements in their pontoon design give a ride quality that has to be experienced to be believed. They do say the Kiwis have welding ability ingrained in their DNA, and it’s difficult to argue against this when you see the workmanship in a Stabicraft boat.

In 2021, Richardson Marine added Quintrex to their lineup due to popular demand. Quintrex sits on a 75 year strong history of boat building in Australia. The reputation built by Quintrex over the years has been legendary. Quintrex offers a massive range of boats, from tiny three metre tinnies to seven metre aluminium beasts. Start of the art technology and innovation has brought Quintrex to the front line of hull development in 2021. The Quinnie range at Richardson Marine has proved incredibly popular, with an extensive and varied range on display.

Quintrex

For decades, Quintrex boats have earned a reputation as some of Australia's most trusted aluminium boats, delivering the versatility, reliability and value that Australian families and anglers demand. At Richardson Marine, we've carefully selected the Quintrex range because it's perfectly suited to the conditions we experience every day here on Victoria's rugged south-west coast from sheltered estuaries and inland lakes through to Port Phillip Bay, Portland and offshore adventures when the weather allows.

 

Whether you're chasing trout on local rivers, targeting bream in the Hopkins, drifting for snapper off Port Fairy or enjoying a family day on the water, there's a Quintrex designed to suit your style of boating. From the compact Renegade and Explorer ranges through to larger cabin models, Quintrex boats combine innovative Australian design with renowned stability, soft-riding performance and practical layouts that make every trip more enjoyable.

 

What truly sets a Richardson Marine Quintrex apart, however, is what happens after the boat arrives in our workshop. We don't simply bolt components together; we build every package with the same attention to detail we'd expect in our own boat. Our experienced marine technicians take pride in producing clean, reliable installations, carefully routing wiring, fabricating custom mounting solutions where required, and ensuring every electronic, electrical and mechanical component is fitted to the highest standard.

 

As south-west Victoria's authorised Suzuki Marine dealer, we pair every Quintrex with dependable Suzuki outboards, selected to deliver the ideal balance of performance, fuel efficiency and reliability. We also specialise in custom electronics installations featuring Garmin, Minn Kota, Humminbird, Furuno and other leading marine brands, allowing every package to be tailored specifically to your style of fishing or boating.

 

Every trailer is equally important. That's why we take the time to correctly set up each package with an Easytow or Quintrex trailer, ensuring the boat is properly balanced, supported and ready for years of dependable towing across Victorian roads.

 

When you purchase a Quintrex from Richardson Marine, you're buying from a dealership that understands local waters because we fish and boat them ourselves. Our team can provide genuine advice on boat setup, electronics, accessories and safety equipment based on real-world experience - not just a brochure.

 

From your first boat through to a fully customised fishing machine, Richardson Marine is committed to delivering Quintrex packages that are built properly, perform reliably and are ready for countless days on the water.
