Mako Craft Estuary Tracker Tournoment vs Quintrex Hornet Trophy

[jezz11]

Hi guys,

I am trying to decide which rig to go for. I am looking for a well made, smooth riding and stable v-nose punt.

I must admit the Mako craft apears to be a better made boat and from what i hear rides exceptionaly well and very stable.

I have been out many times on hornets, and they too are a nice boat. However, feel the quality control is poor and welds and workmanship could be alot better.

What are your thoughts?

Hi there Jezz11 a mate of mine bought a makocraft and had a few problems ( welds cracking , vibratoins and paint peeling off ) i also have a larger mako offshore it is a differnt kettle if fish but i have had a few minor problems nothing to major .

Not bagging out mako`s im pretty happy with mine now but the quality control needs an upgrade in my opinion my boat has been back several times to have things fixed but i supose i now know you get what you pay for if the boat is cheaper there is usually a reason for that .

Keep that in mind when making your decision.

I am not trying to put you off but you asked the question so i am giving you honest feedback .

Regards MONOSTRETCHO

Thanks guys. Personally, i love sea jay boats. However, the nomad in 4.15 has only 1.6m bottoms. THought that was a little thin for such a boat..

I'm suprised and a little concerned to hear that Monostretcho, I've only every heard good reports about the makos. I've had an absolutely brilliant run with my Stessl and I am thinking about upgrading to a mako (480 ETT SC) in a couple of months time.

Mind you my mate has only had problem after problem after problem with his 8 month old 5 metre hornet trophy - although there are always horror stories out there.
