Fish4Eyes Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 Saw a good deal on a Fisher walleye boat. Does anybody own a fisher boat? If so, are they durable and made good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish4Eyes Posted June 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 Oh ya? This one is aluminum, all welded hull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRIFTER_016 Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 (edited) 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. Edited June 29, 2009 by DRIFTER_016 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dagoat_1 Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bassassin Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 (edited) 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!!!!
