2026 Bankes Boats Crusader

At 19’5” long, and with a 7 1/2’ beam, not only will the Crusader get you there and back again, but it will keep you dry and safe along the way.

This is the perfect boat for anyone that needs to hunt with 4+ people, but doesn’t need or want a boat as big as our 21’ Goliath. If you have been looking for a boat a little bigger than our 17’ Freedom, to take you to more remote hunting spots, away from everyone else, then this boat is for you. It offers plenty of storage space inside the boat, with two side decoy storage areas, a shelf above the decoy storage areas for your smaller items, as well as a large front storage area and dry storage inside the steering console. The 7 1/2’ beam gives you a very stable and seaworthy boat. 

The traditional decked over design helps to make the boat easy to hide. Designed and built with our now famous RTC Hull Design, the 19’ Crusader is a great performer. A smooth and dry ride can be expected, along with a quick to plane and easy to handle boat. The boats’ reverse transom allows you to back up at higher speeds, and through waves, to pick up your decoys faster and easier. The flat boarding pads at the rear of the boat make getting in and out easier for both you and your dog. It also comes standard with our uniquely designed side mounted console, offering you a comfortable driving position, and has enough room to mount all of your gauges and electronics.
