The 2026 KingFisher 23 XAC is a 23-foot aluminum runabout built for fishing and coastal cruising. Rated for up to 250 hp, it combines the rugged performance of a fishing platform with comfortable cruising capability. The hull features Pre-Flex technology with a variable 16-degree deadrise, full-length performance keel, reverse chines, and welded lifting strakes for handling rough water. The boat sits on a galvanized tandem-axle trailer with surge disc brakes.
The cockpit is designed around fishing and practical use, with two fish lockers totaling 260 liters, full-width side storage trays, and a transom platform with folding step-through. The helm features hydraulic steering, an XL dash panel for electronics, and a full switch and circuit breaker panel. Seating includes a captain's chair with slider, forward-facing passenger bench, and two side-facing benches—all with under-seat storage.
The compact cabin sleeps two in a V-berth with lockable storage and roof hatch, headroom of 6'3", and an interior cabin roof and wall liner for cold weather. Navigation and safety equipment are standard, including lights, horn, electric bilge pumps with auto switch, and a premium stainless steel grab rail package. The fuel tank holds 322 liters, and the transom has a 1200-pound weight limit for mounting equipment.
The aluminum construction is welded throughout, with closed-cell foam for sound dampening, speckle-painted interior and exterior, and exterior paint in choice of colors. The hard top includes overhead storage trays and an integral cockpit roof extension.
