The story started way back in 1993 when the late Jerry Govender, of old Jurgenscraft fame, started making a mold in some spare space at Bill Harrison‘s old shop. By 2000 the very first Kosi cat 16 CC was born. A Round tunnel hull for good off-shore performance, with good stern flotation. The point of making this boat was to have an excellent handling of-shore fishing craft, entry-level, well priced & easy to launch & tow. All these points were achieved. Some 200 of these boats were sold.

The 16 F/C followed very successfully. It’s still is one of South Africa’s most popular small craft off –shore fishing rigs. Reggie Chetty (ex Acecraft & Angler Boats) had, by now, joined the production team and he was responsible for the new Kosi cat 186 CC and F/C boats. Again, a great medium class off-shore rig. A round tunnel, again,  with awesome stern flotation.
