Discover why the North River Coho Hard Top is a Standout Vessel: Rugged Design, Affordable Price

If you’re in the market for a boat built to handle everything from the Great Lakes to the Pacific Northwest, all without compromising on value, it’s time to look at the North River 21′ COHO Hard Top, a standout new model for 2025.

In the walk-through video above, Brian Zarembski from Erie Marine Sales introduces us to the 21’ COHO Hard Top and outlines the key features that make this vessel such an exciting addition to the North River lineup.

North River Boats has built a name on toughness and craftsmanship, and the 21′ COHO Hard Top continues that legacy with a compact yet capable 21-foot frame. This boat is designed for flexibility, perfect for trolling in the Great Lakes, running offshore on the West Coast, or simply cruising inland waters in rougher seasons. The hard top (pilothouse-style) offers full weather protection without sacrificing open deck space.

Perhaps the most compelling aspect of the 21′ COHO Hard Top is the price point. North River has managed to strike a balance between robust, proven construction and cost-conscious design.

For many boaters, especially those looking to upgrade from open aluminum or center-console setups, pilothouse boats have seemed out of reach. The 21′ COHO Hard Top changes that, offering a strong, enclosed fishing platform with excellent performance, all at a price that makes it a real consideration for serious weekend anglers or first-time buyers moving into a more advanced category.

If you’re after a versatile, budget-friendly pilothouse boat built for serious anglers and ready for all-season conditions, the 21′ Coho Hard Top delivers on every front. With a smart blend of performance, practical features, and premium construction, it redefines what’s possible in this price range. Whether you’re trolling for salmon on Lake Michigan or bottom-fishing in the waters of Puget Sound, this capable 21-footer has the strength, storage, and stability to handle the job, without the complexity or cost of larger vessels. Check out the full specs and see how the Coho is raising the bar for value in its class.
