Thank gawd you finally went more freeboard.... If I should buy such a beast can I get the entire under-floor foam filled and the base element of the base hull fully coated with "sound proofing". I've owned aluminium boats for about 40 years and I am getting really sick of the slap and metal sound in the shallows, hence why I'm considering a Poly Boat.
Lol, the writing in this show is very good, this host needs better equipment so he can film reviews on the water, doing instrumented tests: acceleration with banners on the screen with specs all that stuff. Great Writing, Great Host, Great Boats. Needs more production
look at the bit at 3.40, the boat cover was shaking and twisting a fair bit, can't really agree with all the beginning "Talk Up" when you see the boat shitting itself at low speeds.
Yes the canopy was shaking about, but they will do that on any boat that has them up in the air like that and travelling in choppy conditions. I have a Quintrex and Stabi Craft at the moment, both of them will shake the canopy if it is up during anything other than calm conditions. Canopies should lay flat when travelling at speed, otherwise they shake and your fuel consumption increases. I have owned SEVEN boats during my life on the water, three of them have been Quintrex boats. Two Top Enders and a Hornet. All great boats. I am seriously considering one of these new Frontiers as my last ever boat purchase. But an on water test will have to convince me of that and it will have to be a choppy day, not glass smooth or flat which they often get in the Gold Coast Broadwater. Even that chop they were testing this Frontier in was nothing compared to what I travel through off Darwin or outside along the east coast, particularly north Qld.
Thanks Nathan the sailsman.... I felt like I was buying a boat from North Hampshire
Looks good in the creek..what about offshore
Really like your 590!!! vs stabi 1800 can you assist me ? For lite shore and kelp beds and big lake boat love pickle hull!

i wonder how this would handle say 5km offshore ?
Very easily, people take their 3.7 m hornets much further but if you are buying this boat you shouldn't want it for that.
V hulls are very stable at this size, shouldn't be a concern.

Wait what? You must not know what a Bimini top is. This is perfectly normal, any boat that has a bimini top will do this.
@@jusfshn Hey Bruce, did you end up having a test of the Froniter ? Would love to hear your feedback. Cheers, Morgan
Don't mind the looks, different to the usual.
Performance is ordinary, 165hp (150 H.O), 708kg hull @ 74kph, *WTF*
