I’m in the market for a new 18′ boat and the Polar Kraft Kodiak 185 caught my eye. Doesn’t seem to be very many of them here in MN – anyone been in a newer one and can comment on the build quality and ride?
I had an ’07 polar kraft 178. We had it for a few years and it was good boat. I would say it was comparable to Alumacraft. We went to a skeeter after that.
Babe Winkelman ran one for a season or two. I think the main downside is lack of nearby dealer support. And also, just a question of why not Alumacraft or Lund or Crestliner, unless there is something specific about Polar Kraft that you can’t get in the other brands.

I’m not opposed to other brands, in fact, an 1875 Pro-V would be my first choice but the cost is hard to justify compared to similar offerings.
The Polar Kraft Kodiak is appealing with 8’6″ rod storage and a larger than average casting deck (I have a Lund predator currently and like the deck space). Storage in general seems good. Alumacraft competitor also could be an option.
