Why pay the high price for production center console sportfishers when you can build your own? Our KINGFISHER design lets you do it at a fraction of the cost. By using our plans with full size patterns, it's easier than you might think. Our instructions with material listing and fastening schedule help you achieve professional results you'll be proud of.

The KINGFISHER is virtually all cockpit with plenty of nooks and crannies for stowing gear, food, drink, ice, bait, and the catch. There's a raised casting deck forward and a helmsman's seat with a pivoting backrest for use as a dual fighting chair. It's the perfect boat for all sorts of fresh and salt water angling as well as diving or water skiing activities.

The KINGFISHER features a full length 18 degree deep vee hull with lift strakes for quick planing with minimum power. The hull incorporates a radiused keel section for a smooth ride, and a reverse curve at the chine to knock down spray and improve stability at rest. Power choices include single or twin outboards, or single I/O units (stern drive inboards). To make construction easier and faster, we have Fastening Kits and Fiberglass Covering Kits especially for your KINGFISHER.
