Summary
The Quicksilver 675 Weekend is a popular, compact boat known for its versatility and suitability for both fishing and leisure cruising. It's designed as a trailerable boat, making it easy to transport and store. Key features include a spacious cockpit, comfortable sleeping accommodations for two, and a well-equipped galley.
This model is a very good fit for someone who wants:
A boat that can be used for day-cruising and weekend trips (sleeping aboard)
Enough cockpit space for socialising, sun-lounging, water access (swim ladder)
A compact size (for moorings or ease of handling) but still with decent accommodation
Quality brand (Quicksilver) with modern features
Sequel price of £59,995 represents a £10,000 saving one the new boat price.
Perfomance and Constrution
Performance
With the top engine option (~225 hp) the boat is capable of brisk performance; one review cited top speeds in excess of ~35 knots (with the 225 hp engine) depending on load and conditions.
Construction
The relatively modest beam (2.50 m) makes it easier to find a berth in busy marinas, and the weight (without engine ~1.6-1.7 t) means trailerability is claimed (for some versions).
Because it’s CE Category C, it is designed for “inshore/coastal waters” (rougher seas are outside the design envelope).
The cockpit design and swim platforms make it a good family boat for day-cruising and overnighting, and the convertible layout adds flexibility.
Accommodation
The boat is designed for both day-use and overnight stays.
Cabin area features a double berth in the forward section. B
There is also a convertible dinette (3-way) that can be used as dining, forward‐facing seating or an extra berth.
A galley is included: sink, possibly stove/hob, refrigerator (optional or as part of a package) and storage.
Enclosed head (sea toilet) and sink are standard or available options.
The cockpit is versatile: seating/dining area converts to sun lounge via a flip-system.
Large sun-lounge area at the bow.
