BRP transforms boating experience – a distinctive holistic design from bow to stern
BOMBARDIER Recreational Products is shaking up the boating industry with fully redesigned Quintrex boats featuring the all-new Rotax outboard engine with stealth technology. Disappearing under the boat and engineered not to be seen or felt, this new engine technology is a game-changer.
The model year 2023 Quintrex line-up stands out thanks to their seamless, holistic and daringly innovative design from bow to stern. The result is a truly integrated boat that frees up valuable space for boaters and their families, and that pushes the design to stunning new heights. BRP president marine group Karim Donnez said, “Over the past four years, BRP has built an unparalleled value proposition for consumers in the market for a boat.”
“We are proud to unveil new Quintrex boats that transform and revolutionise the boating experience. “Built upon the brands’ respective legacies and elevated through BRP’s unique design approach and stealthy engine technology, these new products are much more distinctive, contemporary and spacious. “This is only the first wave of what we have set out to achieve in our marine business, and we plan to continue pushing technology even further.”
Rotax outboard engine
Hidden, quiet and efficient, BRP completely rethought, reimagined and redesigned the engine for its boats. The new Rotax outboard engine with stealth technology is initially offered in 115 and 150hp configurations. It delivers the same advantages of a traditional outboard engine – such as price, performance, handling, ease of maintenance and full trim – with additional benefits.
Partially submerged underwater and hidden under the boat, the engine is smooth and quiet at any speed. It doesn’t block the way at the stern and therefore frees up valuable space. The Rotax outboard engine is also efficient, allowing for up to 20 percent improved fuel efficiency compared to traditional outboard engines. What’s more, based on BRP internal testing, it is the cleanest combustion outboard engine in its class. With a 12 percent reduction in reportable emissions and a 98 percent reduction in carbon monoxide at idle compared to leading outboard engine brands.
The new Quintrex boats have been crafted for an optimal integration of the new Rotax outboard engine with stealth tech for an unrivalled experience that will wow boaters and their families. Competitively priced within their segments, these new-model year-2023 line-ups offer incredible value and will be irresistible to any consumer in the market for a boat.
Quintrex
The iconic Quintrex Freestyler has been completely modernised to revolutionise the boating experience and appeal to a wider base of families in Australia. Building on the rich reputation of Quintrex for quality and performance, BRP has designed the new Freestyler X models for those looking for a more recreational aluminium boat. All the functions and features boaters already know, love and expect are still offered, with added comfort, a unique layout, high-end construction materials, refined interior treatments and standout new colour schemes. The new Freestyler X is offered in three configurations with the Rotax outboard engine – the 595 version is available with 150hp, and the new 555 version with 115hp or 150hp.
The new stealth technology of the Rotax engine allows a drastic increase in the usable space onboard and enables the Max Deck platform to unlock exciting new possibilities for enjoying recreation activities at the stern. Storage has been optimised throughout to make the entire onboard experience more convenient. Australia’s favourite aluminium boat is poised to continue to be at the forefront of innovation and consumer expectations.
