This is a video on a McKee Craft - yes, a McKee! I know, you haven't heard about these boats in a long, long time. But new ownership has taken over, and the McKee Craft boats are back. Fortunately, they construct these new models exactly as they did the old ones - a hull, a deck, and pressurized foam in-between, which cures into a one-piece boat. But the plot thickens, when you learn that McKee Craft is also building a line of larger boats, called the Aegis. We found one at the Fort Lauderdale Boat Show, and shot this short video to give you an introduction to the new McKees. http://features.boats.com/boat-content/2014/01/mckee-craft-and-aegis-first-look-video/ For more boat videos, visit www.boats.com.
