Hey DT, thanks for this great video, you did a really nice job! Just came across Kingfisher, they look super nice. Live in MT, I might look into the Warrior Sport for reservoirs out here, I"m really glad to see how the 115 moved that around, no need for a 150, thats awesome. And it sounds like it fits in a normal garage, another bonus. Thanks again for the intel.
Hi. Thanks for a great review. On 54s you mention that storage length is 21'3". Can you please measure the storage width. I know the beam is 7'4". But is it the widest spot? Or trailer wheels go wider then the beam? Thanks!!!
Great review thank you. Looking at buying a new boat in 2022, I was always a princecraft guy, but this kingfisher looks like a real fishing machine. How high are the rear sides from inside the boat?
Nice little boat, Kingfisher is in my radar for sure. Question, you have lots of rod holders, but there doesn't seem to be any rod storage lockers on the boat? Also when trolling you obviously don't have a trolling motor or kicker so what do you do? Your feedback would be great. if there are rod storage on the sides how long a Rod fits in them. Whats the max HP you can put on the back.
You can fit 7 foot rods along the side trays but not really ideal at rod lockers. I think storage overall is probably the weakest point of this particular model/boat. Luckily I don't have a lot of storage needs. Since this video I have added a 80lb 60" 24v Terrova on the bow and it is awesome! Max HP for this model is 115 you need to bump up to the 2025 to allow a 150hp. I chose this size boat due to garage limitations and overall maneuverability for being able to handle things on my own especially on smaller bodies of water.
@@3RiversFishingAdventures your Kingfisher is beautiful. I need more storage which the Kingfisher seems to lack so unfortunately it is off my radar now.
@@3RiversFishingAdventures awesome I am glad to see that it's open again finally, especially for you.👍 hopefully I will see you out there i will be on the pontoon that smells like steaks.
Based on the current market and supply, that is the going rate and a decent deal I think. You might be able to get a bit under 40 if you shop hard and make a few sacrifices, but would you rather spend a bunch of your free time trying to save a thousand or be on the water using the boat?
Hey 3River I saw your review of this boat on one of the forums, there is suprisenly VERY little info about them online. I also live in MN and looking to getting one at Foster Bros, Can you share how long is it on the trailer? Also, how tall are the sides from deck to the top... Can't seem to find any to look at in person :(
@@3RiversFishingAdventures Thanks man, I will have a whole 2" left to close the door ;). Side height wise, I know 31" is from keel to to top, What I was I was curious is on the inside of the boat what is the height from floor to top?(have little kiddos, want it to be heigh enough for them not to clime over :))
It's really not ideal. First of all it's small to begin with, but it's also a raised self draining bow which means a much higher center of gravity. You can do it for sure, no problem, but if you do a lot of bow fishing/casting, I would look at a different model.
@@3RiversFishingAdventures Thanks for the reply. I really do like your boat. I had a Harbor Craft back in 2010 I think it was which is a Pre King Fisher change over. Just loved that boat and want to get another one.
@@robbiekeddie6645 it's an older Lund brand that came out of a different boat. But NOCO makes good chargers too. I do a lot of shit l anchor fish a lot so I also ran a bank back to my starting battery so that gets charged too whenever I plug it in.
I own a Kingfisher Warrior Sport with a 150 hp outboard. Ive had it up to alm47 mph. Very well built boat - glad I went with this brand.
Thanks for the detailed review, I'm currently looking for something like this and am heavily leaning towards the kingfisher.
That boat is built like a tank and sure cleans up nice. Great review.
Thanks Jason
Nice video, Congratulations on the new boat 👍🏾

Thanks for watching. They are a great boat.
Man I love that boat..
Thanks
That thing planes out quick! I'll have to get out on that sucker this year and check it out
The prop made a big difference.

Is $40,000 a decent deal with a Yamaha 115? It’s the only one I can find in my area. It’s a 2021 with 6 hours on it. No kicker. Thanks for this vid!

I believe it was 21.5ft total length (with swing tongue). It fits in my garage but just barely. Side height is 31"

@@vovchikdo7726 I'll take a measurement tonight and let you know. It's pretty high. Off hand I think it's about 28"

How is it with the smaller bow for casting out the front of the boat?

How do you have your battery hooked up up front ? Does it charge from motor. Is it for isolating light bar ? Have same boat
I have a second battery in the middle storage area and an on board charger for it. It's dedicated to my lighting and electronics.
@@3RiversFishingAdventures what type of charger ? Looking at doing the same as I like that location.
@@robbiekeddie6645 it's an older Lund brand that came out of a different boat. But NOCO makes good chargers too. I do a lot of shit l anchor fish a lot so I also ran a bank back to my starting battery so that gets charged too whenever I plug it in.
How much does that rig cost? Looks awesome
Thanks. Yeah about 35k
where is rods storage?
There's rod racks along the side trays.
@@3RiversFishingAdventures thanks,
