Default Kirkland bay boat

Anyone ever hear of these boats?
I saw one a couple days ago.
The guys fishing it ran it up on some rocks instead of anchoring.
It looked fiberglass to me. I figured it was a pretty good boat if
you can run it up on some rocks and fish, then back off and head
home.

ChuckP, I was just wondering about the Kirkland. Never heard of it.
I saw a commercial about Triumph boats. Thought it might be built
with the same composite.
I just couldn't figger out why you ran it up on the rocks. Didn't know
it ended up there after anchoring.
When I saw it, it looked like it was leaning pretty good.

Now that I know your boat, I will holler at you next time I see you.
