FAQ’s
Why are NorthCoast Boats Rugged | Versatile | Performance Machines
Our boats are built rugged to provide a safe platform that will last generations. Designed to be versatile inshore and offshore for hard core fishing or family cruising. We focus on fishing performance when chasing the big ones. The hulls are designed for maximum performance while you navigate safely in sea conditions other brands run from. And we focus on the boat, not the fluffy bells and whistles some builders add- driving the cost of boating higher.
Why do knowledgeable boaters choose NorthCoast? How much time do you have?
NorthCoast Boats are built by excellent craftsmen and women. In fact, the same manufacturer, C&C Marine, who has made Hunt Yachts & J-Boats, hulls, decks and small parts owns and builds NorthCoast Boats. All of the quality, materials, and craftsmanship, at the right price. Seasoned boaters appreciate our practical,no wood, smart, no fluff designs.

What is the NorthCoast buyer profile?
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. Recently, we have new NorthCoast Owners coming out of Grady White and Boston Whalers- owners who no longer want to pay for amenities they never used. We have Cruising couples who love the smart layouts and their practicality combined with three season protection in our Cabin boats. Our center consoles attract those wanting to fish inshore and offshore in a boat that is solid, seaworthy- real boats built for tough conditions.
IS NORTHCOAST FISHING AND FAMILY ORIENTED?
We fish and love being on the water- so we get it. You also have a Family who’s needs are very important. You want a smooth, dry, comfortable ride, with rod holders, tackle boxes, fish boxes, live wells, and room for all the latest electronics at the Helm. Your Family may want more amenities like a private Head. If so, take a look at the new 255HT, 285HT, or 315HT.
Perfect for three season boating, sport-fishing, or cruising. The 235HT will satisfy the crew requiring stability at rest. The new 230CC Deep V has forward seating, or casting area, massive storage, and a two bean bag cockpit.
Why offer modified and deep v configurations on some models?
Each design has its use: The modified V hulls are aggressive in that they cut through the water like a knife and sit comfortably at rest, especially when drifting or just hanging out. This is due to a flatter 10 degree dead rise at the transom. The deep v is for those wishing to travel even faster in bigger seas, and yes, although they would typically be less stable at rest, we have added wide reverse chines to assist stability.
DEEP V models:
230CC | 255HT | 285HT | 315HT | 415HT
What if I need some modifications?
When possible, we provide a wide variety of opportunities for you to personalize your new boat to exactly what you have been dreaming about. One example is you can add all the regionally distinct fishing equipment you need with the help of our local experts- our Dealers. See our options on each page, use our Build a Boat and make special requests to assist in keeping everyone happy and very comfortable.
What is the northcoast 12yr hull warranty?
Hull Warranty: C & C Marine, Inc.( Manufacturer of NorthCoast Boats™) warrants to the first purchaser and any subsequent owner that the hull and stringers will be free from structural defects in materials and workmanship for a period of TWELVE (12) YEARS from date of purchase from dealer or manufacturer subject to the conditions set forth in the warranty page.
why do NorthCoast Boats feel larger than brand X?
Structurally our oversized stringer grids and longer “cure time” in the molds are an important part in the enhanced NorthCoast feel. You will find our boats are larger than most in their class with abundant cockpits, and larger Cabin and Pilot house interiors, providing you and your friends space to move around without as much bumping into each other, and always somewhere to lean while fighting the big ones. Some manufacturers measure differently than others. When it comes to some of the model names the engine brackets get in the mix. We also prefer higher gunnels forward to keep you in the boat and give the boat a more sea-kindly ride in big seas.
Why does NorthCoast use ICE Blue in the Live Wells?
Our ice blue live wells, with clear lids, are designed to keep bait alive longer. A happy bait catches more fish!
What if I want a colored hull?
Select from a these popular colors found on the Awlgrip Chart. We use the highest quality gelcoat with UV inhibitors.
