Testimonials
Manoeuvrability and ride across a rolling swell are
excellent. Instead of bouncing over the top of waves,
the Northbank 650
Cuddy drives through them, flattening out the swell to
make the ride that little bit more comfortable.
This is thanks, in part, to the 21° deadrise, and it will no doubt score extra brownie points when the family is aboard.
Mark Bracks
The 650 is not just a pretty face. There are plenty of well-thought-out and practical features that come as either standard fitment or optional add-ons.
Mark Bracks
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.

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
MARK BRACKS
First impressions of the Northbank are impressive. The 650 Cuddy is a very well designed and immaculately finished vessel, which also has a slightly smaller 6m sibling born of the same design template.
The hull is of fibreglass composite construction with an excellent finish and attention to detail. As it is designed and built it Adelaide, it’s made for the rough stuff. This is reflected in the hull, which tops the scales at 1300kg.
That hull may seem a tad heavy to some, but if your pastime is serious offshore fishing, it’s a bonus — the extra weight really flattens out the ride. Also, combined with a top speed of over 80kmh, it ensures that it takes minimal time to get where you’re going, without feeling like a crash-test dummy.
