NORTHBANK 540R REVIEWS

Northbank boats consistently receive rave reviews from the boating experts who test drive and write about them in various boating journals and newspapers.

Read what some of the boating experts have to say about Northbank's 5.4 Metre Runabout / Ski / Fish model.

Shane Mensforth, Adelaide Advertiser

I have tested the Northbank [540R] twice this year and both times it made easy work of metre-plus seas.

With eye-catching, low profile lines, the hull shines in its cornering ability...handles a decent chop with ease yet has good stability at rest...best walk through windscreen system I have seen." 

Mark Robinson, Australian Powerboat

"This was one of the best hulls for its size that I have ever tested, if not the best. ...we found no handling faults running at any angle. All approaches produced a stable and predictable ride.

"The Northbank [540R] abounds in thoughtful attention to detail from stem to stern. ...The glasswork is as good as it gets and the gel coat is mirror-like in its smoothness.

"From my critical perspective, it appears that Northbank has studied the strengths and weaknesses of many craft and set out to build a vessel that incorporates the best features of top shelf craft and avoids the pitfalls of lesser ones. In this they have succeeded very well."

Doug Hogg, South Australian Waters

Perfect glasswork...impressed by the soft ride, the handling in the tight, high speed turns...the hull lifted cleanly and remained flat at all times."
