Thanks for review . I have a 2019 and love it. I took out the bench seats and installed captain chairs for trolling. I also installed a railing system along each side and back. I was able mount a seat on the railing system so i could operate my trolling motor. I also have an electric trolling motor. I utilize my boat for sturgeon, catfish, slamon, steelhead, walleye, and crappie. It works great for all of them. I have the same issue with limited storage space, especially after i took out the bench seats.
Thanks for making me feel better about the scraps on the side of my KF. Glad I’m not the only one ;) Paint has been marginal. No bubbling but it seems like it doesn’t need much for it to flake off. I ended up putting the access hatches in the back and pulled most of the foam. I have a lot of different people on the boat so I like to keep a lot of various sized lifejackets onboard and I store those lifejackets in that new storage area. With all of those extra lifejackets in there I don’t think there is a big change in the floatation on my boat. Moving those lifejackets have freed up storage elsewhere in the boat which has made a huge difference. I use mine primary for salmon and trout on Lake Ontario and I think the 1825 falcon is like a blank canvas that allows a person to customize it to their particular needs. I also added an Fish On Sports arch which allows to me to carry a lot of extra rods and also allows me to use it for water sports with the family. Thanks for posting these videos. They were extremely helpful when I was purchasing my boat.
My ’22 1825 Falcon is for sale up at Foster Bros Marine. If you know anyone interested that doesn’t want to wait 8 months for one, point them that way!
Installing a heater in mine . And went full lithium ionic …. The fuel filler absolutes sucks I’m gonna try to add another vent 😩 other than that I can’t complain. I’d like to build a 80-100 gallon live well to fish a few tournaments but I’m still working on that
Looking at purchasing this same boat. How's this boat in big weather? I fish on Lake Superior up here in Ontario, and the waves I'm in can be in the 5, 6 foot range.
I believe that having the coast guard license you would be in much more trouble for removing the foam to gain space. That said i have done it and the space was amazing. Any updates on the September horseshoe trips?
Why am I watching a review of a boat I already own ... I dont know ha ha ha... I agree with most of what you said here, I have the 1625 bought in 2018 and the storage can be an issue. I do mostly trolling so have a kicker and like to set on the rear platform. have heard the same on those, some pull the foam and make storage but I feel the same about losing the flotation, just dont like the idea ha ha. The kick panels are something I have thought about removing though, when I was shopping we were able to take a look at the Riverhawk boats built on the same hull design but they have less rear platform/splashpan area and have access panels where the KF has the kick plates. The problem I saw with the Riverhawk was the lower passenger/weight capacity by two people couple hundred pounds. Strange. Any way great review, I have been real happy with mine and look forward to it lasting a long time.

Thanks for watching. I may look into a wrap to cover all the paint scratches. :)

I have the same boat purchased new in 2014 with 90 Merc. Awesome rig. I have same problem with trailer light wire.
nice. mine is 6 yrs and awesome. mine has radar, 2 chartplotters, forwardscan and everything for an expedition boat.
Maybe add some sort of rollers for the anchor rope to not scratch the paint?

Yeah, that's why I figured I'd keep the foam in. Currently arranging some things to make some room for a few trips up there. I'll let you know! Thanks
What is the storage length with the swing tongue folded in

How is paint holding up ? Recently I was looking at 2017 Falcon here on the west coast and noticed lots of bubbles under paint.
Would you know the total weight of your setup including trailer
