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.

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.
