NorthCoast 280CC

The NorthCoast 280CC is an anglers new best friend.

Called “a Canyon runner’s dream and a tuna’s nightmare.” The new NorthCoast 280CC is the largest of the Rhode Island builder’s models. The coastal angler comes standard with a pair of 250-hp Hondas that deliver a 45-knot top end speed. Additionally, they boast a 28-knot cruise with a 250-nautical mile range.

The deep-V hull slices the waves and gets on plane quickly with a 24-degree deadrise. At rest, the flat platform is stable and minimizes fatigue as the fishing day rolls along. There’s no shortage of baitwells with a 25-gallon well in the leaning post, another 20-gallon well centered on the transom and a 91-gallon sub-sole well for larger bait.

A huge fishbox with a macerator pump stores what the bait brings in. Forward seating under a hardtop, lots of storage and a console with a portable head will make a great day out for three or more.
