I grew up on the water and love watching and being around boats and marina’s. When I was shopping for my Kingfisher there was no video’s that really showed them with the detail I was looking for. We have since sold the 2011 Kingfisher 2525 Offshore Weekender and recently bought a used 2018 Kingfisher 3025 Destination with twin Yamaha 200’s. We want to show people what the West Coast of Canada has to offer for boating, fishing, and family adventures.
Kinfisher Offshore 3025 Bad Weather
Out in a snotty South Easter in the Pacific North West. Salmon fishing for winter spring salmon. The boat handled the weather well fishing on auto pilot and only down wind.
I wanted to show people how the boat handled in bad weather. There wasn't many video's of these boats in bad weather. Running into the wind the boat is doing about 14 knots, and down wind later in the video we're doing about 21 knots. Wave height was between 5' and 8', I understand that the video will make them look smaller.
We had a couple waves come over the bow of the boat with no major issue. The boat was trimmed properly but the wave length was short. To keep the speed down while trolling we would bump the boat in...

Just out for a drive on a nice night in December. Vancouver Island at it’s finest. Filmed with a Mavic Mini in low light. 3025 with Yamaha twin 200’s.

not bad
Where is the bad weather
She nose dives pretty good. Beautiful boat but I will stick with my duck 30xl. I think you are underpowered. The bow digs in and doesn't want to raise from the lack of HP. Throw a couple 350's on there and call it the day. It really is a beautiful boat and thanks for the video
@@ReelPolack Wow... clueless comment
i'd be careful in this situation ? the way boats are massed produced i wouldn't trust those windows ? should have storm windows ? one of those coulda went right through
No way...... this boat is built for this. if a boat can't take green water we have a problem. Even my C-Dory takes on green water.
NICE boat! How far offshore on the West Coast of VI do you feel comfortable going in this beast, when you have good weather.
She handled the wave smoothly. Not like the kingfisher 3025 we usually saw that would just smashed into the wave
That weather would be not a thing for my kingfisher K26.
Likes to dig its nose in poor enough
Those aren't 5-8 foot seas. Maybe 3-5 foot. And yes I live in the PNW, I'm used to our weather here. Very stupid to mount that GoLight on your bow rail and then point it back to the cabin. Your going to blind yourself when you turn it on.
25knts= 5ftseas. 30knts=6ft seas. these are big waves bud. Great video glad to see ppl fishing when it's rough out.
You need to go out of the Oregon Inlet in NC on a bad day. It gets so bad that if your were an Atheist, you would automatically start praying and believing in God to answer your prayers to get you home safely. Not trying to take away from the PNW that is Narly also.
Wrong Mr. Mike.... those are much bigger than 3-5. The camera always does that. S
I don't know why, but camera flattens waves big time. Waves need to be well over 3-5 to stuff the bow on that boat, I'd think.
I’m looking at upgrading to the 3025 Destination next year. My only concern is the gunnels seem a bit low. What are your thoughts on the sides? I know the deck is self bailing, but I’m worried about accidentally falling over if out back fishing in semi-rough seas.
If you’re buying a new one, you can get higher gunnels in a package, and it raises the rear fish box. I have owned two kingfishers, both have been used and we took the boat to a fabricator and raised the gunnels and rear fish box. I thought the gunnels where too low. The rear fish box needs to be higher, if it stays low you’re back will be screaming.
Curious to know whether once one is in seas like this, does the music automatically switche on?
Can this 3025 run with twin 250s? Twin 300s?
I believe they can have twin 250’s, and have heard they can plane on a single 250. I have twin 200’s and love them.
@@dabuoys8703 ok, 200s are the way to go then😎
To be clear I can’t plane on a single 200, but still love the engines. I pack the boat up every year with 5 big guys, ice, food, and gear and have no problems.
great video guys!
We just purchased a 2008 2525 Kingfisher, thinking of getting it painted like you did. Who painted it? Do you have any templates for the flooring you put down and did you buy the flooring from Amazon? Your boat looks great!
We had the boat painted in Port Alberni on Vancouver Island at Urgel’s. Randy is the guy you want to talk to. We did use the Amazon flooring Eva foam flooring. We used masking tap to outline where the flooring would go. Then put a thick piece of Polly down to draw a template. We then took the Polly off and layed it on the flooring and cut it. Then applied to the deck. We cleaned the deck couple times then used windex for the last cleaning. We used the spray 3m to make sure it would stick even though the back had adhesive.
@@dabuoys8703 Thanks for the info! How many sheets did you order for the flooring? We heard the name of your boat being called on the radio in Nootka sound couple weeks ago from Hoot'n Any, my wife reminded me of that I recognized the name on your boat but couldn't remember where... lol
@@scarfface4 Ya that’s correct we where in Nootka. We sold our 2525 went to a 3025. But I loved the 2525 for fishing! We ordered 5 sheets, but only used 4. I would recommend 5 sheets because if something goes wrong apparently the colour doesn’t match up well. On the 2nd order, I will say the flooring is hard to keep clean. Dish soap works best to clean it up.
@@dabuoys8703 Great thanks for the info! Happy fishing! The 3025 is a sweet boat too!
Or for the anti slip flooring (ultra deck) you can get it everywhere at the KF’s dealer like Galleon marine, GA check, GMT
That's pretty gnarly. Ran seas like that out to Montague island in AK two years ago, had to turn back as they were building. Seeing greenwater every third wave is unnerving.
Im wondering why 2 115 engines instead of 1 250 engine. Do you know pro and cons of either route. Thanks
Just saw this, the boat came with twin 115 I bought it used. The options are twin 115 or a single 250. Lots of people like the twins for handling, I am one of those people. On this particular boat I think the single 250 would have been the better engine choice.
If one motor goes down, you still have one motor to get back to safety on. More expensive to buy/maintain 2 engines, though. If it's set up right, twin motors can be miracle workers getting into a tight dock space, versus the single motor. Twice the maintenance, though. At least get a kicker motor if you only get the one big engine. I think mileage tends to be better with a proper-sized SINGLE engine (vs. twin engines.) Good luck.
I'm looking at this or the 2725. Can one of the 115's get you on plane and have you noticed any corrosion anywhere ?
The 115 won’t get the boat on plane, it will do 8 knots pretty easy I’d say 12 knots max. I have a friend with a 2725 with twin 150’s and it will get on plane with a single 150. Don’t remember what the top speed was. No corrosion on my boat, it was only in the water for 2 months a year then pulled and out in dry storage through the winter. We repainted the boat as the clear coat was coming off and wanted it to look pretty again. The previous owner never waxed the boat. Haven’t had an issue with corrosion on the motors as the zincs are changed regularity. I think the early 2000’s 200-250 engines had corrosion issues.
@@dabuoys8703 That's good news on the corrosion, any idea how your friend's 2725 is on fuel compared to yours. I was under the impression KF's were supposed to be a fairly efficient hull, I would have guessed yours to be better than you mentioned.
shawn moore I think it’s about the same, for the same speed. 14 gph in and around that range doing 27 knots or around 12 to do 23 knots. The 3025 does about 14.8 gph doing 27 knots and it’s running twin 200 the new inline 4’s.
