The spec sheets list the Quintrex 370E Explorer 2027 as eclipse hull and the Quintrex 420 Renegade Pro SC 2027 as v-hull, so check how each hull rides in the conditions you use before you decide.

On paper these two are close siblings in the size department - Quintrex 370E Explorer 2027 at 12,1 ft versus Quintrex 420 Renegade Pro SC 2027 at 14,5 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Quintrex 420 Renegade Pro SC 2027 tips the scales at 818 lbs - 639 lbs less than the Quintrex 370E Explorer 2027 at 179 lbs. That difference is meaningful if you're working within a half-ton or three-quarter-ton truck's tow rating, especially once you factor in a motor, gear, and fuel.

The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 50 hp, the Quintrex 420 Renegade Pro SC 2027 has a 30-hp advantage over the Quintrex 370E Explorer 2027's 20-hp ceiling - enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load.

For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Quintrex 420 Renegade Pro SC 2027 is rated for 4 passengers, while the Quintrex 370E Explorer 2027 caps at 3. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Quintrex 420 Renegade Pro SC 2027 could be the deciding factor.

At this size, power-to-weight ratio matters more than outright horsepower. The Quintrex 370E Explorer 2027 comes in at 9 lbs per hp versus 16 lbs per hp for the Quintrex 420 Renegade Pro SC 2027. The lower the ratio the more explosive the acceleration - meaningful on a short RIB where bursts of speed, quick planing, and agility in surf or tight waterways define the experience.
