Where to buy Kingfisher 2625 Coastal Express:
Kingfisher Boats
Coastal boats range from 29 to 24 feet long and feature slightly shallower vee hulls than their offshore counterparts. Their bottoms are heavy-gauge aluminum, although slightly thinner than those used in the Offshore series. However, since Kingfisher is a custom boat maker, you can spec out your 2625 in nearly any way you want, including a thicker bottom.
The interior of the Coastal Series is designed to keep you dry and warm during the toughest months of the year, but its accommodations are limited to keep it functional as a dayboat. The bow area is storage, and the only berth available is the two rear benches that convert with filler cushions.
There’s no galley, and the toilet is under a bench in the cabin, with only a privacy curtain.
The boat’s strength is its large working cockpit, which can be outfitted for any fishing mission.
Things we like:
-
Can be ordered with heavy-gauge 0.250 hull bottom
-
Optional cold-weather interior with extra insulation
-
Interior features a plumbed head under a seat with a privacy curtain
-
Aft benches convert to double bunk
Things we don't like:
-
Forward bow provides space for gear but is too small to be a useable bunk
