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.
