    North Rip Boats ... What do you think?

    A friend of mine works for Pearson Composites ... They make Alerion sail boats and True North yachts. Gorgeous boats: (www.pearsoncomposites.com).

    Anyway, he sent me a message saying they are trying to get into the sportfishing market with a line called North Rip (www.northripboats.com). Currently, I think they only have the 21 in production but the drawings of the bigger boats look bad-ass. They have some big names involved with the design.

    I haven't seen the boat in person yet but it looks pretty sweet. What do you guys think?

    Ohhh gotcha... I would imagine thats an option if you had one built. I saw an old one on Yachtworld that had a full transom and an outdrive and it looked sharp.

    North Rip

    I saw these in a magazine recently, very attractive boats to me. Love to have one for running around in the river and sound..

    They were building them in RI a few years ago, I thought they had gone out of business, there awesome boats, never been out on one, but have seen them in person, very nice fit and finish. Good to hear that there still around.
