Testimonials
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
Andrew Colette - Customer.
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
Kevin Baker - Customer
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.

Colours
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.
Hull colour is defined as a gel-coat colour from the bumper strip to the water line.
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
We tested the hard top version off O’Sullivan Beach in early August and were as impressed with the boat’s performance as its big, bold lines. There is no doubt about its credentials to handle long range tuna fishing off Port MacDonnell, snapper fishing on Tapley Shoal and practically every other scenario in between.
The 650HT has an enormous cockpit with higher than average sides. Fishing four for snapper wouldn’t be an issue and there’s plenty of beam (2.44m) to carry several trolling rods across the transom.
The addition of a hard top really increases this boat’s appeal, particularly in offshore situations. The Northbank hard top is quite high –- certainly high enough for the average guy to stand under without fear of banging his head – and this provides the ultimate in protection from the elements.
Copping a face-full of spray on a cold day offshore while trolling for tuna isn’t much fun, but this is something you’ll never have to worry about with the 650HT.
