Research 2009 - Kenner Boats - 1860

The all-new KENNER® Vision 1860 delivers the features, options, ride and versatility usually unavailable on boats this size.
The ventilated step hull with its wide 91" (2.31 m) beam provides a stable, dry ride, as well as helping the boat plane quickly and effortlessly. And its 100-percent composite construction, along with the completely bonded and lined hull and deck, offers the extreme durability and ruggedness.
With this one-of-a-kind bay boat, you can just as easily fish a choppy bay as you can prowl the shoreline. Or, since it requires only 24" (60.96 cm) of water to get on plane, you can even fish those shallow flats bigger boats avoid. Whatever your method of fishing is, this light tackle, multi-species skiff gives you plenty of versatility and room for all the gear you need.
Anglers have plenty of options while fishing. For sight casting, generous bow and stern platforms make great vantage points.
For those who prefer to stalk their fish through extremely shallow water, you can get the optional poling platform, push pole and holders and even a spotlight.
There are four watertight storage compartments, holders for as many as 10 rods and an 18-gallon (68.14 L) console livewell, which can also be used as a baitwell. It also sports a self-draining deck and easy-to-clean interior.
The KENNER Vision 1860 is setting a whole new standard for light tackle skiffs by providing the fit, finish and versatility of larger craft in the most efficient, easy-to-maintain 18' 6" package around.
