2018 Klamath Boats 18 Open
About This Yacht
This 2018 Klamath Boats 18 Open is an aluminum bay boat built on a modified V-bottom hull design. The hull features a hard chine, sharp bow entry, and moderate deadrise aft, delivering stable planing performance and efficient passage through choppy water while keeping occupants and gear dry. The aluminum construction includes double-walled heavy extruded chine, high-strength extruded gunwale, and formed-in stiffening ribs for durability.
The boat is rigged with a 50-horsepower Tohatsu outboard engine paired with a 9.9-horsepower auxiliary with remote steering. The deck is outfitted with fishing equipment including two downriggers, a Lowrance electronics system, VHF radio, and a complete fisherman's top. The 20-inch long-shaft transom accommodates four-stroke outboards.
Below the gunwale, the interior features heavy transom knee bracing, vinyl-covered seat tops, and non-skid vinyl floorboards. A polyurethane interior finish in blue or gray provides protection, while welded exterior and interior bow eyes, a stainless stern eye, and a zinc anode on a welded bracket support the working hardware.
The Tohatsu engine has logged 177 hours of operation.
