  1. Thats it Rod, now its just a massive waiting game. Too much hassle with the Nautic Star i think. Oversize signs front and back and flags on each corner to tow, restrictions on towing times etc, No doubt it would have sold already if it was a tad narrower and lighter. This is where the Northbank 750 fits for our requirements, Weighs 3.3T and 2.5m beam, can legally tow it with the Ranger or Dmax. Yeah its frustrating, just the way it goes though. They are nice boats and will definitely be worth the wait. Maybe catch less fish next time mate, could be slowing you d
  2. That is an absolute beast. 2.8m beam and 3.8T loaded. Would be great down at the Cape. Probably need to invest in a tractor. Not to sure about the hours on the motor though. Might have to go and check it out and get a better idea of condition, most of the time photos can cover up a lot of issues.

  3. Cheers Rod. Might have missed out on the Northbank. Managed to get a hold of the number of the boat owner and gave him a call. Negotiated a price and ready to send the deposit over.

Initially when my farther and i drove to see the boat, he jumped into a 600c in the showroom and fell in love with it almost instantly though it came down to sheer size that we were looking for is why we are looking at the 750ht. The build quality visually is amazing for us especially as our boat in comparison is a 32 year old boat that's been in the family for 30 years . Our boat has had its course of repairs / new motor along the way, served us very well and we've never been stuck out at sea or needed a tow. Getting to the point where the fami
  5. Hi All, New to this forum, chasing some info about Northbank boats here in SA and typically all the reviews of the Northbank 750HT are heavily marketed pushing towards all the bells and whistles. Im after the raw info about them. Thinking of upgrading our current boat to a Northbank 750HT, Volkswagen TDI 265 -6 with Mercury Bravo II. Does anyone have any info regarding Nothbank boats. Quality, stability, performance, pros/cons, value for money, etc Any help would be much appreciated. - Christien
