2023 Weldcraft Cuddy King 280

Wherever your desired destination, the Cuddy King will get you there and back in ultimate comfort and confidence. Along the journey, relax and enjoy the ride thanks to the thoughtful cabin layout you select from countless options. Everything from the most comfortable seating, to a convertible dinette area and private enclosed head are designed with the angler in mind. Driver and passenger Mariner suspension seats are positioned for the most optimal view through the forward-leaning windshield. Offshore performance is optimized by a 39º upswept bow entry, true reverse chine, and 8’ wide bottom. This vessel boasts superior materials from bow to stern as evidenced by its heavy-gauge 5086 aluminum alloy and stainless steel thru-hull fittings. Out back, the Cuddy King’s self-draining, composite rear deck is renowned for offshore action. A tackle rigging station sits atop a 37-gallon transom fish box with split cutting board lid. If you fill that hold, no worries, because there is an additional 158-gallon, insulated fish box with a macerator pump out located in the floor. Rod storage is solid. Gunwales are padded. It’s 100% ready to harvest. Just plot those waypoints and away you go.
