Fisher Boats

[Fish4Eyes]

Saw a good deal on a Fisher walleye boat. Does anybody own a fisher boat? If so, are they durable and made good?

I had one for several years. It was fiberglass.....I could have kept it but I didn`t have the room. It was a great boat!

Oh ya? This one is aluminum, all welded hull.

I have a Fisher SV-18GT Aluminum that I bought new in 1991 and am still running it.

It is a very well built boat. I just wish mine was riveted like yours.

I don't know about yours but mine has aluminum stringers and a carpeted aluminum deck.

One more thing, it will handle some nasty weather too.

I have had it out on Lake Erie in some nasty weather and had it out on Lake "O" when I should have been on shore (the marine cops came out to see if I was OK because of the nasty rollers complete with white foam on the crests blowing out of the East.

 

Here's a few pics of her, including the helm upgrade I did last year.

Here's mine, a SV GT 165. Even though I need a bigger boat, this one is perfect for fishing. I bring it to Canada every year. It's an '86 and it is one solid boat. Great in rough water and great to fish in. I have a 70 hp and a 9.9 kicker.

I have a 1998 17.5 SC and wouldnt part with it. All welded hull. probably same as your talking about. I have a 90hp on it right and the thing seems perfect even though max is 115hp rating. If you can get a good deal on it i say go for it.

OK, thanks for the tips!

The best boat i have ever had!! 17.5' x 8'2" beam. unbelievably stable but super versatile, I have a 06 Fisher Hawk 170 Sport with walkthrough windshield and a 90hp Opti she pushes 37-40mph more than enough for us!!!!
