“Well built and rides very good in a chop. I was impressed at the fishability and stability.

“We towed her behind our larger vessel to the Bahamas in March, breaking 8 ft plus waves the whole way. Rinsed her off and enjoyed her for two weeks. Not a single issue.
David K., Fort Lauderdale
“I sure do love my Canyon Bay. She is perfect for my smallmouth and striper charters in Tennessee.

Why wood inside fiberglass boats still rots, why "composite" doesn't always mean wood free, and how to check a transom and stringers yourself.

What Kevlar, fiberglass and carbon fiber each do in a boat hull, where each one falls short, and why the best hulls blend them.
