Since owning my Northbank I couldn't be happier. This boat is fantastic.
It rides well and is very safe and predictable in it's operation through a range of weather conditions and seas giving me the confidence to get to and come back from my favourite fishing spots

My new 650HT diesel sterndrive is the fourth Northbank I have owned.
I believe the Northbank hulls to be right at the forefront of offshore fishing.
My new hard top is truly an off shore fisherman's dream

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.

Sleek stylish Northbank blends power and performance with seagoing practicality
Built and fitted out to the client’s specific brief this powerful, refined Northbank 650WA walkaround impressed not only on first sighting, but seriously once on the water.
There was a lot to take in, so we began the inspection looking at the transom, with its two boarding platforms, each with SS. handrails and that to port with fold-down 3-stepped ladders.
In the engine well, the fuel filler was set atop a small step that led one through a transom door and into the cockpit.
A draining bait board, with hinged teflon cutting surface and 3 rod holders, sat centrally on the transom. To starboard was a deep, drained live bait well.
