Kingfisher Boats launches the 23 and 25 XAC Models: versatile aluminum boat options for fishing and cruising
Jan 21, 2025
KingFisher Boats has announced the release of two new models: the 23 XAC and 25 XAC. Designed for families, anglers, and small groups, these heavy-gauge aluminum boats offer a hybrid solution for both fishing and cruising. They are well-suited for both fishing trips and casual outings across the Pacific Northwest and Great Lakes.
“At KingFisher, our purpose is to enrich lives while spending time on the water,” said Baxter Bolton, President at KingFisher Boats. “The 23 and 25 XAC models were designed to reflect that—practical, versatile, and comfortable for fishing or just enjoying life with family and friends. These boats are about more than functionality; they’re about creating opportunities for connection.”
The 23 XAC measures 23’1″ in length with a 250 HP engine, while the 25 XAC is slightly larger at 25’1″ with a 300 HP engine. Both models have a 16° variable deadrise, making them stable in various water conditions. The 23 XAC offers a fuel capacity of 322 L (85 USG), and the 25 XAC has the same fuel capacity with an option for a larger 125 USG tank. Cabin headroom on both models is 6’3″, providing ample space for extended time on the water.
Notable features of the 23 and 25 XAC models include an extra-large, raised-height cuddy cabin with a V-Berth mattress that sleeps two people. The cabin also has lockable access doors, USB charge points, and underfloor storage. The boats have direct bonded glass windows, tinted side cabin windows with integrated sliders and screens, and a roof hatch with a screen for ventilation.
Seating options on both models include dual center-facing bench seats, which can be reconfigured to create an L-shaped rear-facing seat. The 25 XAC also has an optional galley and dinette package, which includes a stainless sink, faucet, refrigerator, freshwater holding tank, and option for diesel stove. Both models come with an integrated under-deck winch/anchor locker, and options for a windlass or winch.
The 23 and 25 XAC models are available now. For more information or to find a dealer, visit the KingFisher Boats website at kingfisherboats.com
