That's a ripper price for a turn-key 5.8m open console fishing boat.
With the above features and more, Northside Marine has the standard boat package priced from just $58,862. Other standard boat package features include hydraulic steering, a Simrad Go7 fish finder/GPS with transom mount transducer, vertical rod racks in the transom and console for a combined ten rods, four stainless steel coaming rod holders, a compact helm console with windscreen, grab rail, and bow seat, a two-person width lean seat, a rear live bait tank with storage locker opposite and a self-bailing cockpit. The trailer also boasts a boat boarding ladder at the bow, carpeted skid planks/bunks (no rollers) a spare wheel, torsion axle suspension and a heavy duty Vortex wheel hub and sealed bearing system from US company Tie Down Engineering. One glance at the trailer in the photos and you can see it is a tough, heavy duty model with u-bolted alloy framework, stainless steel fixtures and big fourteen inch mag wheels and tyres. The package includes a Yamaha 115hp extra-longshaft (25") four-stroke outboard and a superb tandem axle alloy braked trailer made to Australian specifications by US builder, Road King. Our test boat was supplied virtually as standard by Brisbane's Northside Marine. In the US the Island Reef models are marketed as entry or budget boats, yet we found the test rig to be very well outfitted compared to some locally made competitors. Our test boat for this review is the largest of two models in the Island Reef range - the Island Reef 19. All 21 models have a centre console configuration, although they have several different lines to suit different budgets and applications. Sportsman Boats has chosen to specialise in centre consoles. This technique adds strength - and combined with the built-in foam flotation - helps to dampen hull noise and slap when the boats are underway. Impressively, the underfloor structure of each hull has the fibreglass stringers incorporated into one single, full length mould, which is then chemically bonded to the inside of the hull.
