Owner Experience Review
Owners describe the Bayrider 2260fromKENCRAFTas a capable inshore/bay skiff used for casting from the bow and nearshore fishing, while its spacious, uncluttered deck also suits family cruising and casual days on the water. Beyond recreation, a forum report notes the model in work service, with NC Game Wardens having used a BayRider 2260.
On the water, owners point out that although it is a flat bottom, the tines that run the length of the hull let it carve sharp turns without the skidding behavior associated with some Carolina Skiff hulls. With a Yamaha 150, owner posts report roughly 40 mph and praise how it handles bay chop. Yamaha’s performance bulletin for this setup shows real-world numbers around 36 mph at 5,000 rpm and about 40 mph at 5,500 rpm, figures owners often use to frame cruise and top-end expectations.
Comfort and day-use practicality get consistent mentions: a roomy deck, bow casting platform, livewell, recessed rod storage, and a flip‑flop cooler seat support both fishing and family duty. Aggregated listing feedback highlights stability and a smooth ride even in choppy waters. Maintenance discussions are routine for a bay skiff—no pervasive model‑specific failures reported—though owners recommend checking deck‑plate seals, watching for gelcoat stress cracks at transom or hatches, and addressing minor transom/deck leaks promptly. Trailering and launch technique also come up, given reported dry/loaded weights in the ~2,350–3,000 lb range and the importance of correct trailer setup.
