Re: Kennedy Boats

I used to drag race aginst a guy who had a Kennedy Craft. It was a typical 15' - 16' ski boat looking deal. Very similar looking to a Hydrostream. Cant tell you much else -- he was always behind me but it seemed to handle OK.<br /><br />I know thats not much help but good luck anyway!

Re: Kennedy Boats

I used to have a cottage on Chandos Lake and my neighbour had a 16' Kennedy. It was okay but more similar to a small J Craft or a Sidewinder than a Hydrostream. Seemed to be a good boat for him as he owned it for about eight years. Nothing fancy interior wise though but I cannot say if all were like that. I skied behind it a few times and the wake was pretty small. It didn't really like rough water but then again not many 16' speedboats do. Good luck.
