ENJOY THE RIDE ON A 650cr
REPUTATION
North Shore boats has been manufacturing quality fiberglass boats in Perth, Western Australia, since 1957. In the early years the company earned an enviable reputation for building surveyed commercial boats and later it expanded its operations and built recreational pleasure crafts up to 15 meters.

In the mid ‘90s, north shore boats was steered in a new direction by a talented commercial boat builder and he used north shores good reputation, plus extensive market research to focus on what todays boat owners want tomorrow.

North Shore`s research has developed a new spirited performer called the 650cr cabin runabout. The design and construction of the 650cr has raised the bar in offshore performance and safety. That bar has been backed by North Shore`s statement of quality, design and performance.
CONSTRUCTION
Tremendous pressure is placed on the underside of all boat hulls so North Shore has built the hull with cutting edge construction on the 650cr to take the punishment even in heavy seas.
Each 650cr hull starts with a lay up of tri-axial and double-bias fibreglass matting. The gelcoat is of the highest quality and is Australian made the same as all our resins. The structure is nothing less than strong throughout using similar building to commercial survey methods, giving a solid hull structure of 18mm thick in the keel, 14mm thick on the chines,9mm thick hull bottom, and 7mm on the hull topsides. This is why North Shore can back it`s statement of quality, Design and performance to ensure that the 650cr gives exceptional offshore performance and safety.
Many boats in any type of sea conditions tend to vibrate severely, which is generally caused by a thinner hull construction. The 580cr performs with minimum flex and vibration in any sea conditions, due to applying a commercial standard layup. Plywood is also used in many boats to form the cockpit floor and add strength. Over time wood rot becomes a problem. To avoid this North Shore applies a 20mm high density foam moulded to the floor to keep the weight down but maintain the hulls structural integrity throughout.
STABILITY
The 650cr has a finely tuned and balanced configuration of length x beam x weight x hull design. What this means is that with Australian standards this boat can carry ten passengers and this makes it a truly stable craft for what ever you may be doing, and with solid construction based on a commercial survey philosophy. North shore customers who are experienced fisherman say the 650cr is surprisingly stable when two to three keen fisherman working their rods are on one side of the boat. When it comes to being sea sick, less rock in a boat is a good boat for fishing. Size is everything, and the 650cr offers deceptively spacious cabin and cockpit, plus substantial room for either three fisherman working on one side of the boat or a family of ten enjoying a day of cruising, skiing or just soaking up the sun and enjoying the boating lifestyle.
SAFETY
The height of the internal gunwale is 910mm, this means the hipbone area of a 1.8m tall person would be near level with the top edge of the gunwale. Kids under 10 years would have a greater level of protection from falling overboard with their chest to shoulders area leaning safely against the top edge of the gunwale. This safety aspect is a big plus for families. For added safety, the fishing part of the boat (the sides) have toe support channels along the cockpit floor, with a non-skid surface strip.
LAYOUT
Standard seating is for four people with an optional removable transom lounge to seat an extra four. A full sized lined cabin with extra long sleeping bunks can accommodate 2 x 1.9m tall adults for overnight stays. There is abundant storage from stem to stern with full length moulded shelves in the cabin, compartments under the sleeping bunks, cockpit side pockets and inside the seat box pedestals on the captain and passenger chairs. Under the cockpit floor there is 208litre fuel tank and 200litre fully insulated keel tank fitted with drainage bungs. Fishing or picnicking is a breeze with the standard dual purpose live bait tank/eski moulded in the transom with an access door that doubles as a bait cutting board. Optional is a removable icebox that also works as a transom access door. It can be removed from the boat and used as a portable esky, when you have anchored at your favourite bay or hideaway.
WARRANTY
North shore boats provides a seven-year structural hull warranty on all its models, that`s how confident the company is about its manufacturing processes. North shore gives you complete peace of mind in your investment.
