Why Trust Captain Knotsworth?
"I've owned everything from a beat-up aluminum fishing boat held together by optimism and bungee cords, to wake surf boats that cost more than my first house."
Over 30 years on North Texas lakes — Lewisville, Grapevine, Ray Hubbard, Texoma — Captain K has owned and operated outdrives, jet boats, fishing rigs, jet skis, and wake surf boats. Each one came with expensive lessons. No manufacturer pays for placement here. If it's on this site, it earned its spot.
