Anyone have experience with a Weldcraft Cuddy King 240 - looking for new boat and came across these.

Those boats are to dream for!!!Originally Posted by cohobankie
I have a 22' Weldcraft Mavrick. It's not the model that you are looking for but I can tell you from 5 years of experience that Weldcrafts are a very well built boat. I have had a lot of boats over the years and this is the most "overbuilt" one that I have ever owned. My only complaint is that they didn't do a good job of cleaning out all of the aluminum shavings from the building process. To this day I am still finding them in the bilge. Pretty minor complaint in the big scheme of things. Weldcraft is a sister boat of Duckworth as they are both owned by the same company and built in the same factory.
I like those Weldcrafts but I like the looks of the Duckworth Offshore even more (same hull just slightly different lines and cabin). These guys really did there homework and when North River almost went titters it was perfect timing for them to come out with these models to compete with the ever popular North River Seahawk O/S.
There are some really great features built into these boats. Here is a link to a thread on the AAB site showing a Duckworth Offshore build with lot's of factory photos from start to finish.

I like the Ironwood in the top left of the link.

Yeah probably one of my favourite alloy boats. That's was Marty McMillan's (RIP) one of kind custom. Ironwood knocked that one out of the park.

This is a good vid showing all the nice features built into these hulls.
Here's a funny vid of the same boat.

I have 2 Weldcraft boats, a 22' Maverick with a 225 Honda & 9.9 Honda kicker + (TR-1), 2 Scotty's and good electronics except no radar. The Other is a 26' Oceanking with a 225 Evinrude, 9.9 Honda kicker + TR1, 4 Cannons and more electronics with Radar. Both had been good boats, cut thru the chop nicely. I have noticed other boats use .250 Alum for the bottom, WC uses .190 even on the 26 footer. Don't know if it really matters. I also don't know if they use marine grade 5086 alum, have asked, never responded to my email. Planning a trip to Nootka Sound end of July, which of the 2 should I bring?
