“Kimple Hunter” Series: Stability Guaranteed for Fishing

Many anglers are familiar with that unpleasant feeling: you stand up in the boat to cast your rod, a colleague moves, and the entire boat sways dangerously. Stability is one of the most important criteria when choosing a boat, especially for spin anglers. This is precisely where the “Kimple Hunter” series comes into play.

Why is the “Hunter” different? The main secret of this series is the unique ratio of hull width to length. “Hunter” models are significantly wider than standard aluminum boats, as the bottom dimension is almost the same as the width of the gunwales at the top. All Hunter models have only about a 15 cm difference here and a practically flat bottom. This creates a “platform effect” – the boat sits firmly on the water like a raft.

Advantages for Anglers:

  • Stand-up Fishing: You can confidently walk on deck, even if you’re not alone in the boat.
  • Shallow Draft: The wide, flat-bottomed hull allows access to shallow coves where the biggest catches hide.
  • Space for Gear: Greater width means more room for your tackle boxes and fishing equipment.

Who is this series for? The “Kimple Hunter” is ideal for lakes, ponds, and larger rivers. It’s a workhorse for those who value safety and don’t want to worry about every wave.

If you’re tired of balancing in narrow boats, choose the “Hunter” models!
