Default Kingfisher boats

Tupper ware(fiberglass boats) have been my strong preference. I bought a fiberglass hull in the 1970's, and finished the boat. I've always owned fiberglass and thought I always would.

Why do these aluminum kingfishers have me thinking about beer cans(Aluminum boats)? Comfort has always been a strong concern, this Kingfish beer can is more comfortable than some of the tupper ware of comparable size. We're looking at 25'-28', the weight and price is better than fiberglass. :whazzup:

Patty thinks we might need a new bigger truck to tow this boat, this woman is a keeper.

Does anyone have any experience with Kingfishers? Thanks

Talk to corrirod, he knows all about the Kingfisher boats. I was impressed with the boat and was considering one but all the fluff and comfort pushed the boat a little out of my price range. Would be a good pick for someone looking for a lot of comfort in a fishing boat.

Patty, alias the admiral, likes the comfort. Thats the part that's intriguing, she is very happy with the interior. It looks like we'll be catching fish with a happy admiral.

It looks like its less money than a glass boat with comparable features.
