2022 KenCraft 239 Bay Rider

The newest addition in the KenCraft lineup is our Bay Rider Bay Series .  Designed the 239 for the avid fisherman that needs to fish the skinny water with a draft of 12 inches as well as the fisherman that wants to head offshore for some larger action. With a dead rise of 16° at the transom and 52° at our wide Carolina Flare bow, this boat can handle the rougher water you might encounter offshore. With higher freeboard than our previous model and a true self bailing floor, KenCraft has introduced a Bay boat like no other on the market today. Combine these fishing features with the comfort features the family desires for a cruising boat, and you have designed the perfect combination of a family cruiser and multipurpose fishing boat.

We have new deluxe forward seating with flush mounted backrest brackets unlike our competitors. We have a large casting deck up front with plenty of room to fish. Both models include under gunwale rod storage for all of your favorite rods and the new wider gunwales make room for our Mate Series combination rod and cup holders. You can install as many as you want. The trolling motor is mounted on the upper deck where we have a new integrated anchor locker to hold the large FX-7 aluminum anchor. The forward seats/fish box coolers are fully foamed to hold ice for long periods of time, and they drain overboard. The seat lids lift vertically on 316 stainless gas struts to allow easy access to the drinks or the fish. The console houses a 15 gallon livewell and the New Optional 45 gallon fiberglass livewell leaning post is compact yet allows for comfortable seating for two. Rear jump seats add additional seating for cruising.
