2022 Boat & Motor Buyer’s Guide

The Fisherman Magazine | January 2022 by Capt. John N. Raguso

“NorthCoast’s 315HT is the largest member in their growing cabin fleet, joining the 285HT, 255HT, 235HT and 215HT models. The NorthCoast engineers took the basic shape of the 285HT Cabin, which features a 23-degree aft deadrise and three-strake per side deep-vee running bottom that sports a 10-foot, 2-inch beam, lengthening it out to an LOA of 35 feet including the standard bow pulpit and Armstrong outboard bracket aft. The new 315HT’s fuel capacity was also increased to 316 gallons, offering true canyon range. The net result is a bluewater sportfisher with overnighting capabilities, with plenty of room in the extended cockpit to wrestle a four-banger of bigeye, a spacious area under the hardtop to protect the crew when underway in the rough stuff, plus room down below for a head and sleeping for four.

By lengthening the cockpit on the 315HT, this created enough space for a pair of 58-gallon in-deck fishboxes, each of which is individually macerated. The full transom design includes a pair of blue-walled recirculating livewells, with one a 26-gallon oval design and the other a smaller 19-gallon well for specialty baits. When it’s time to either jump onboard at the marina or to wrestle the big ones aboard offshore, the portside cockpit door combines with the starboard corner walk-through transom door to give the crew some great options. The cockpit gutter system with oversized scuppers will evacuate green water quickly wither underway or at rest.

Rigged with a pair of Yamaha F300s, she’ll hit a top speed in the high-50s, with optimum cruise at 31-mph/3500 rpm. Like all NorthCoast boats, the 315HT is backed by a 12-year structural hull warranty. “ Capt. John Raguso
