The Boating Forum - Anybody know about Cudacraft boats?

A friend of my dads has a ~20 foot 1970 Cudacraft center console boat that he has run and fished since it was new. Over the years he has repowered it 7 times. He has run to Bimini is this boat. I think that hull might last forever.

Anyone know about these boats? Any others still around?

We had one. We bought it used in flamgo in mid 70`s. Great boat. We kept it untill mid 80`s and sold it to a friend. He still has it today. He has installed a new gas tank and new paint, new motor but thats all. I saw one in flamgo with twin 200`s on it. The strongest built boat I have ever seem. They were called Raybond CudaCraft, built in Miami. We put this boat maney times on top of a orster bar with no damamge. All I can say, I wish they made them like that now.

Yes Cuda Craft is currently being built by Ray Bonds son (Del Bond) in Tennessee. It's the same hull and same construction but wit no wood. At telephone # 423-365-5008 Office or write to 210 Ellis St. Spring City, TN 37381

Unbelievable, what can't you find out about in an hour on THT? BTW, great boats.

Gee Del... any THT discounts if we buy one?

Gee WW, what boating person doesn't monitor your site? ;) I'm starting to come around to your position on advertising, at least he could swing for a wheel or three.

and to think.... we've been monikered as "just a buncha hot heads bitchin' bout boats!"
Maybe we're on to something here?
