Badfish 21
The Next Badfish, Coming Soon
Expected to launch in late 2025, the Badfish 21 is a proportionately scaled-up version of the Badfish 18, featuring the same versatile 8˚ bottom, same graceful flare, and same emphasis on simplicity and quality.
The Badfish 21 is being designed around a 115 hp outboard, with an expected expected maximum horsepower rating of 150. A bay boat-style standup console and leaning post are being designed. A T-top will be available.
