Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | What is a 'double V hull'?
The Yar Craft hull design you are talking about is not the same design as the 209, that was a boat built in Michigan. Yar Craft bought the tooling while they were still built in the Wausau area. It's a good big water hull.
The original Yar Craft V hulls were popped off a runabout style boat originally built by Cruisers Inc, if I remember correctly. Warrior, Skeeter, and Kingfisher used the same basic design and modified from there. Tuffy bought the 17' Kingfisher tooling when they went under (or were bought out by Jacobs, can't remember), but the 1760 is a totally different design purchased from Bay De Noc Walleye boats and modified from that tooling. Warrior went out of business, and was reincarnated by the folks running it now; good people, same hull designs as far as I know. Yar Craft sold to Bass Cat and the number of models available was reduced. |
