SA Angler
The standard of Northbank’s fibreglass
and gelcoat work is first class – certainly
as good as anything you’ll see from the big names in
Queensland.
SA Angler
One word sums up these craft - superb.
Whether it be the finish of the hull, with its mirror smooth gel-coat, or attention to detail, or the general aesthetics, this adjective superb applies across the Northbank range.

Note about Northbank 500C colours
Deck colour is offered as an option. 500C is offered as a white hull only.
Hull and deck colours can put that finishing touch to your new boat.
A wide range of hull and deck gel-coat colours are available for most Northbank models. Note that 500C and 550C offer varying colour specifications.
Not only can you choose from our popular pallet, but we have the ability to customise colours to suit you.
If you have a particular colour in mind , contact your nearest Northbank dealer to discuss your specific needs.
Deck colour is defined as a gel-coat colour above the bumper strip.

Both hull and deck coat colours are pigmented into the gel-coat and finished off to the high standards expected of all Northbank boats.

Reviews
SA Angler - issue 80
Then there’s the Northbank 500 Cuddy, which is designed to suit the needs (and budgets) of the weekend angler or family boater. It’s a superbly finished craft that’s easy to tow and store, cheap to run and extremely versatile.
The 500 Cuddy is neat little craft designed to carry two or three in comfort. It has been embraced by local anglers as the ideal boat for chasing our inshore fish such as whiting, gar and blue crabs. As a cuddy cab, it offers a good measure of cockpit space, along with just enough under-cover area for keeping clothing and valuables away from the elements.
You’ll find handy storage space beneath the short berths up front, as well as further sub-deck storage and a pair of side pockets to accommodate gaffs and landing nets.
