NORTHCOAST 2023 BUYER'S GUIDE

Why do knowledgeable boaters choose NorthCoast? Here are just a few reasons.

NorthCoast Boats are built by expert craftsmen and women. In fact, the same manufacturer, C&C Marine, who makes J-Boats, owns and builds NorthCoast Boats. All of the quality, materials, and craftsmanship, at the right price

Our boats are built rugged, versatile, and designed to perform in sea conditions others run from Select from our colored gelcoats for the hull and two tone contrasting nonskid decking (Awlgrip matched)

We fish and love being on the water- so we get it You want a smooth, dry ride, with rod holders, tackle boxes, and conveniently placed "catch all "areas, right where you need them to be

You will also find our boats are larger than most in their class with abundant cockpits, space to move around without bumping into each other, and always somewhere to lean while fighting the big ones.

Our optional low-profile bow rails, hand-crafted cushions, insulated storage boxes, and pop up hardware also assist in keeping everyone happy and very comfortable. Even our circular ice blue live wells are designed to keep bait alive longer.

When you look at the entire NorthCoast line up it is easy to see why our high gunnels and classic shear lines attract professional Captains, Fishing Guides and anyone who has spent a lot of time on the water- especially offshore.

The hulls are aggressive Designed to cut the water like a knife and sit comfortably at rest, or when drifting

ULTIMATE FISHING PERFORMANCE

RUGGED | VERSATILE | PERFORMANCE

NorthCoast 255 is an all business hull able to cross the wave tops with a wide-open throttle (WOT) of 64 miles per hour

Sporting a 22 Degree dead-rise and 9’5” Beam, the new 255 handles inshore or offshore conditions like a champ, running dry and comfortable- as you would expect from a NorthCoast 159 usable gallons of fuel at 3000RPMS | Cruising at 25MPH | *12.9GPH and a conservative range of 268 nautical miles or 302 statute miles. We listened to those asking for the new model to be larger than the 235 with a private head, sink to wash up, and comfortable accommodations for two For serious anglers, you’ll arrive at the fishing grounds faster and enjoy a longer and wider cockpit to fight big fish- which you can bring aboard via the walk through transom door

*Range and fuel economy is estimated and will vary based upon load and sea state

CONSTRUCTION DETAILS

HULL AND DECK MATERIALS

o TECHNOLOGY

NorthCoast uses some of the most advanced technology in the marine industry in the design and construction of all NorthCoast Only top quality, top performance materials which have been thoroughly tested are used

o GELCOAT

To protect the laminate from the environment, all NorthCoast utilize Isophthalic (ISO) gelcoat ISO gelcoats yield a denser, more frequently branched molecular network which inhibits migration of water molecules Because of their structure, these gelcoats offer superior resistance to moisture penetration, blistering and fading They are formulated to yield slightly more flexibility than most gelcoats which helps to resist cracking Tests also indicate that ISO gelcoats produce the highest, most durable gloss finish, and retain it despite severe environmental exposure

o GLASS FIBERS

High performance glass fabrics are used throughout the sandwich-type laminate They offer superior strength and stiffness when compared to conventional cloth and woven roving materials used by many other builders In high stress areas, bi-axial fabrics, which can be oriented to yield maximum strength and stiffness, are used These fibers require less resin and therefore, produce stronger, light weight structures

o VINYLESTER RESIN

A special vinylester resin is used as a barrier behind the gelcoat to further resist moisture penetration By excluding moisture, blistering cannot occur The vinylester resin is also resilient like the gelcoat to increase crack resistance The vinylester resins, in combination with ISO gelcoats and carefully selected fibers, produce the most blister resistant hulls available today

o POLYESTER RESIN

A high quality polyester resin is used to complete the rest of the laminate Selected for its compatibility with the high-performance fabrics used, this resin provides a high-strength, durable laminate, resistant to cracking and fatigue Again, the correct balance of properties between each component is designed to assure that the high strength and stiffness will be retained throughout the life of your vessel
