Quintrex 460 Renegade TS + Yamaha F70 - on water review

Ready to see why this little weapon is such a big seller in QLD? In this on-water run, Aaron, owner of Brisbane Yamaha, takes a Renegade 460 TS paired with Yamaha’s F70 outboard for a proper shake-down, showing the rig, the fit-out, and how it rides in real-world chop. You’ll get a clear look at the extras we’ve added for impoundment bass work and light offshore days, plus a bunch of practical rigging tips you can steal for your own boat. What you’ll see in this video: Why the 460 punches above its size. It is a beamy hull with the footprint and fishability people usually expect from the next size up, which helps explain its popularity across QLD. Matched power with the Yamaha F70. Maximum rated horsepower is 75 HP, and the F70 hits the sweet spot for impoundments and general inshore work. Ride and hull notes. The hull’s entry and shoulders deal with confused water nicely, delivering a soft, predictable ride instead of slap. Clean, pressed sides keep the package looking sharp. Real-world fishability. Licensed for 5 persons, with 3 the sweet spot for fishing. Generous casting decks and smart storage that stays dry and out of the way. Rigging and fit-out walk-through Custom bimini sized for long trolling sessions so you get shade where you need it. Bow electric ready. Factory-style thruster bracket with a 55-lb bow-mount spot, spare spigot, tidy under-floor battery with circuit protection, and an external charging plug so you can top up without unpacking gear. Electronics made easy. Compact accessories console with a RAM-mounted sounder, simple switch bank for nav and anchor lights plus bilge, and a fuel gauge to keep fuel anxiety at bay. Fuel for the day. Approximately 77-litre tank, plenty for a 70 to 75 HP package. Transom smarts. Battery isolation, water-separating fuel filter, and more dry storage under the rear casting deck. Tow and go. Light alloy trailer rated around 1100 kg, set up so anyone can drive the boat on without drama. Who this rig is for Anglers who split time between SEQ impoundments, trolling, casting and jigging for bass, and inshore or short offshore windows on the right days. If you want maximum deck space in a simple, tough, easy-to-own package, this 460 TS with the F70 nails it.
