The Kingston Series has been in our product line since 1987 and has had many successes, primarily in the Patrol boat market. The boat has very good handling characteristics in terms of tracking, speed out of the hole, wave handling, and turning radius.

The main functions of the boat’s planing surfaces, which are an elongated center planing flat and two outboard step chines, are adjusted in conjunction with the deadrise angle to accommodate the sea keeping conditions the particular operator will encounter.

The Kingston hull form is a proprietary design featuring a delta-pad center-planing-flat which provides the additional lift required for a low trim-angle through the pre-planing transition zone, the "hump".
