Kenner Hulls

[mr wayne]

Looking to buy a used bay boat. I've always liked the looks of the old kenner hulls. What's everyone's experiences with these hulls? I'm looking to spend 10k-12k on a boat. What I'm looking for is a 19' but an 18' at right price will do. Really like the looks of the vision too.
Thanks

I have had a Kenner 24' for a few years and still love it. Very dry boat with plenty of fishing room

I had an 01 18 v135 and it was a great boat. It was 18'6" with a 7'5" beam and a 135. Mine had a back deck with a live well.

OK. Thanks for the input.

Im looking at a 2004 kenner with 115 Optimax. Guy measured from front to transom said it is 18' 10". Should be a 19' but doesn't know the hull model number. The vin is KEN01KCF304. Anybody know how to read this?
Thanks Wayne

I have a 2001 Kenner vision 1801. Did my research on what I wanted then found the perfect boat and price. Absolutely love it. With a 115 merc it does about 48-49 mph minimally loaded. Paid 10,500 a couple years ago.

All I know is the first 3 letters are always the boat manufacturer and the last 2 numbers are always the year model.

contact the guys at K2 Marine, they used to build Kenners, I think 04 was the last year before they sold to tracker

Thanks. I decided not to buy this one anyway. But I"ll keep looking. Really like that 1902 vision also.

x2----if i was building a rig with a used hull, i'd be looking for a 24 Kenner. i think 08 was the last year? dry, light and can take a 250 hp.
