Koffler Bay Bee's?

#1

Post by buck3 »

There is one for sale locally. 28' http://seattle.craigslist.org/see/boa/2932898790.html

What in the consensus on them? Its bigger and more expensive then the one I was looking at, but I am in the market now.

Mainly does anyone know the hull thickness? or any other info?

Thanks
Josh

They are a no frills, solid fishing platform. I see a few guides running them up here in AK.

You're in big water country out there Josh, I'd go for something with scuppers and a heavier build if you can find it.

Thanks. I was worried about build quality. I have been spoiled with that EdWing, it's built like a brick s-house.

IMHO a Koffler is a better built boat than an Edwing. Koffler's are still being built they are a small family business that turn out nice boats. Ed of Edwing no longer builds sport boats and the weld quality of an Edwing leaves much to be desired.

Give Joe at Koffler a call. They'll build what you want... They are a small "custom build" company. If you want a 1/4" self bailing deck they have and can certainly do that. They will take you out on some of their boats before you ever sit down to talk numbers/design. Many Kofflers in Alaska being worked hard on te commercial end. They built mine just the way I wanted it (tinking i wish i would of went for hydraulic steering though) Good luck! :rotfl:
