No Limits 6m Review
Essentially, No Limits was a well-built boat that utilises some innovative approaches to stability. The basic set-up is just that, basic, but it is a top performer.
Noble Super Vee 5.8 Centre Console Review
The standard of finish on the test boat is outstanding. There are few plate aluminium boat builders capable of achieving the high standard evident throughout this boat and it's a credit to the team at Noble.
Noble Super Vee 625 Review
As a passionate lover of centre consoles, I must agree the 625 Super Vee centre cab sacrifices absolutely nothing to the fishing cab. Quite simply, fishing boats don't get much better than this.
Noble Super Vee 7.4 Boat Review: A Sturdy Offshore Fishing Machine
The Noble Super-Vee 7.4 Centre Cab I tested was one slick fishing machine. The test boat had a number of upgrades, the most noticeable were the rounded centre cab; the glass windscreen and raised gunwales.

Hopefully, you and I will never need the services the Lifesaver Rescue team, but isn't it comforting to know that they are out there waiting to help if required, in a boat capable of handling the toughest of conditions to enabling them to perform rescues safely.
Noosa Cat 4100GT (IPS) Review
Another couple of hundred revs and the boat surged forward at 30 knots and virtually skipped across the top of the swell with an unbelievably soft ride. This was more like it! The faster we went the better the boat liked it and the better the ride.
