Australia's most popular fishing boat, the Quintrex Renegade combines the simplicity of a traditional aluminium tinnie with the space, stability and fishing features serious anglers demand.
With generous casting platforms, open deck space, excellent storage and Quintrex's renowned hull designs, the Renegade is equally at home chasing bream in an estuary, trout and redfin on the lakes, cod on inland waterways or heading into the bays when conditions allow.
Available in Tiller Steer, Side Console and Centre Console configurations, the range gives anglers the freedom to choose a layout that suits exactly how they fish. Selected models are also offered in Renegade Pro specification, bundling many of the range's most popular upgrades into a ready-to-fish package.
The 420 is the smallest Renegade, but it packs plenty of fishing capability into a manageable package. Its wide, stable platform provides plenty of usable room for anglers and gear, while front and rear casting areas make it a significant step up from a conventional open tinnie. Easy to tow, launch and manoeuvre, the 420 is particularly well suited to anglers fishing rivers, estuaries, lakes and impoundments.
Available in Tiller Steer and Side Console configurations, with Pro variants adding a range of popular upgrades.
Best suited to: Rivers, estuaries, lakes, bream fishing, trout, redfin and general lure fishing
Capacity: Up to 4 people
Max HP: Up to 50HP
The 440 Renegade adds valuable deck and storage space while remaining compact enough to be an easy everyday fishing boat. Its open layout provides excellent fishability, particularly when working lures from the casting platforms or fishing around the entire boat. The 440 is also where the Renegade range becomes particularly versatile, with Tiller Steer, Side Console and Centre Console layouts available to suit different fishing styles.
Choose the tiller for maximum open deck space, the side console for a great balance between protection and fishability, or the centre console for easy movement around the entire boat.
Best suited to: Estuaries, rivers, lakes, bays, lure fishing and anglers wanting a compact all-rounder
The 460 Renegade is one of the standouts of the range, combining plenty of fishing room with the manageable size and economy of a sub-five-metre aluminium boat. Featuring Quintrex's Blade Hull, the 460 offers excellent stability and ride performance, with enough capability to comfortably transition between inland waterways, estuaries and more open conditions.
The 460 is available across Tiller Steer, Side Console and Centre Console layouts, including Pro configurations. With a maximum horsepower rating of up to 75HP depending on configuration, there's plenty of performance available for covering distance between fishing spots.
Best suited to: Serious lure fishing, estuaries, bays, rivers, impoundments and versatile all-round use
Max HP: Up to 75HP
Capacity: Up to 5 people
The 490 takes the Renegade concept into a larger and more capable package. There's additional room for anglers, electronics, tackle and fishing equipment, while the wider platform provides the stability you want when multiple anglers are casting or moving around the boat. The 490's Blade Hull makes it a particularly versatile option for anglers who don't want to be restricted to one style of fishing. It's compact enough for exploring rivers and estuaries while offering the size and capability needed for fishing larger bays and venturing into more open water when conditions permit.
Available in Side Console and Centre Console layouts, including highly equipped Pro configurations.
Best suited to: Estuaries, bays, larger rivers, impoundments, inshore fishing, camping and multi-purpose family use
Stepping beyond five metres, the 530 Renegade offers significantly more room for anglers and equipment while retaining the open, fishing-first layout that defines the range. It's a great option for anglers who regularly fish with mates, carry plenty of gear or want the flexibility to set their boat up with larger electronics, bow-mount electric motors and other accessories. The additional deck space also makes the 530 well suited to longer days on the water and fishing trips where storage and comfort become increasingly important.
Best suited to: Larger waterways, bays, serious fishing, camping trips and anglers carrying more equipment
At the top end of the range, the 570 Renegade takes the fishing-focused Renegade formula and puts it into a considerably larger platform. With 3mm topsides, 4mm bottom sheets, high sides and increased fuel and horsepower capacity, the 570 is designed for anglers travelling further and tackling larger waterways. There's plenty of room for multiple anglers, fishing gear and electronics, making it an excellent choice for those wanting the open layout of a Renegade without being restricted to a smaller tinnie.
Best suited to: Larger bays and waterways, long-range fishing, multiple anglers and serious fishing setups
One of the biggest advantages of the Renegade range is the ability to choose a layout that matches the way you fish.
Tiller Steer (TS) models maximise usable deck space and provide an incredibly simple, open fishing layout. They're ideal for anglers who prioritise room, accessibility and 360-degree fishability.
Side Console (SC) models add a steering wheel, controls and additional protection for the driver while retaining plenty of open fishing space. For many anglers, it's the ideal compromise between a traditional fishing tinnie and a larger console boat.
Centre Console (CC) models provide excellent 360-degree access around the boat, making them particularly well suited to active lure fishing. Being able to move around both sides of the console is a major advantage when fighting fish or when several anglers are onboard.
The standard Renegade gives you the proven hull and fishing-focused layout with plenty of flexibility to customise the boat around your own needs.
The Renegade Pro takes that same platform and adds many of the range's most popular options and upgrades as standard. Depending on the model, Pro equipment can include features such as upgraded flooring, an ice box, bimini and envelope, additional fishing equipment and other comfort and convenience upgrades.
For anglers who already know they'll want a well-optioned fishing package, the Renegade Pro offers an easy way to get many of the desirable extras straight from the factory.
For a compact river and estuary fishing boat, look towards the 420 or 440. For a versatile all-rounder capable of fishing everything from rivers and lakes through to the bays, the 460 is hard to beat.
Step up to the 490 or 530 if you want additional room, capability and storage, while the 570 Renegade is the choice for anglers wanting the biggest and most substantial fishing platform in the range.
