It's an 06 and I'v beat the **** out of it for 16 years.You realize that the only thing holding your boat together is those “crappy welds”?
If it was going to break I'm pretty sure it would have happened by now.

Lol compare your 30 300k boat with a 18 glass boat ????Follow us out Tuna fishing one day we will see how you do.
We fish regularly from Solander up to Scott channel.
Not a lot of 18's in that water.
Very low to water, low center of gravity, very little pitch and roll.
Not a bad ride at all.
Haters be haters. It's all good.I put an offer on a 3225. Didn't get it but man I would hope that this isn't how people would have treated me if I did! Lol
Pretty typical of the crap that is showing up more and more on the Forum.Haters be haters. It's all good.
Not trashing the guy lol just observations, never been on KF boat, all I was saying is for the $ they want for those boat, you would think the welds would be clean. bTW I don’t weld aluminum, metal only and my welds look like bird **** most of the time, but they are solidOK OK trash the pour Kingfisher guy.
I'm tough I can take it.
That boat has given me nothing but joy for 15 years. You guys can't bring me down. I'll be out again starting last week of June thru the end of August killing fish and living the dream. If you see me out there stop by for a beer. You can check out my ****** welds.

Its OK. Harmless banter waiting for the season the start.Pretty typical of the crap that is showing up more and more on the Forum.
You and thousands upon thousands of other Kingfisher owners. The Bolton Marine Group have built a boating empire on the back of the Kingfisher brand. Multiple boating manufacturers are shutting down and going broke, yet their plants are expanding, try and get one right now. Yet we are to believe a couple guys on here that seem to know more than the thousands of Kingfisher owners out there. No in this day and age it doesn’t take long for crap to show itself and fall out of favour in the market, yet they continue to build and expand. So I’ll call BS when I see it. I‘ll admit their welds aren’t the prettiest but so what, doesn’t have to be a pretty weld to be a good weld, this I know from a lifetime of being around equipment and welded iron. And I’ll also say it’s BS calling them poorly welded this I know because they are by far the most popular river boat out here, hundreds of those things running around and we treat them like crap, far worse than any open water boat gets treated and I haven’t seen one nor heard of one having a weld let go so yah BS on that.OK OK trash the pour Kingfisher guy.

Anyone confirm that? I heard Campion was just movingCampion closes and Kingfisher expands. What’s with that.
Currently trying go keep design separate but they do talk at the management level.I wonder if the Eagle Craft designer(s) will have any input on the bigger Kingfisher hulls.
I read an article saying it’s over, not sure 100% of the accuracy of the article,but I think they are kaputAnyone confirm that? I heard Campion was just moving

Yeah no kidding
That is how they came up with the chopper gun system, saving time but creating vastly inferior product.Aluminum boats seem like there is far more opportunities to find ways to cut costs (labour) while scaling up to mass produce.
i don’t no how you do that with glass boats seem like most of it has to be manual labour, not to mention the drying time between layers ect ect ect
Yeah that article seems to quote an anonymous employee. My buddy owns a campion and called they said moving not closing.One of Kelowna's oldest water businesses has put its property up for sale - Kelowna News
Another Kelowna business is on the move and possibly closing for good.www.castanet.net
