Here is what I ran this past year. It was a really great boat. 2008 Lund 208 Pro V GL with a 300 4 Stroke Mercury Verado on the back.

Nice lookin boat Chris, there is a guy from Slave that has the same package. He did one tourny and has found several stress cracks on the transome, you might want to keep a close eye on that.

Northriver seahawk
Here's a pic of the newest member of the family ! Unforetunatly I don't have any really good pics - almost all of them were taken from the inside looking out at the various chinook , coho and hali's we took this year.
2008 Northriver seahawk; 21foot plus 2 foot transom extension, 150 plus 8 hp yamaha's with remote steering, 8.5 foot beam. The cover top with comepletly open back make it a dream to fish out of on those very wet- sunny - wet days up in the Charlottes. The wide beam and high sides make it very comfortable on those rough sea days. Four built in fish boxes keep the space open for fishing not coolers. As most of our fishing is done within 15-20 min of the ramp at Masset it might be a bit of overkill : but we sure like it.
The pic of the fish was the first mornings catch out of it this year!

Nice looking rig there Scott and looks like a good day of fishing.
Are you guys going back up to Massett next summer??
I have been going up the last 2 yrs with my old Grady, will be back up again for a few weeks throughout next summer. Haven't caught anything Huge yet, but it's coming
Might see you out there.
Were you guys staying out at Hidden Island campsite?

It was a repo out of Ontario, and a guy from Quebec picked it up and i got it from him. It is a 2006 with less than 70hr's on it. He sent me the original bill of sale and it was 62,000 with ont tax, so by right's 58,000. I got it for 27,000 with taxes included. A little more than what i wanted to spend but like i said it has been my dream boat and usually don't see to many of these for sale to choose from.
Had another deal on one that was from Keith Kajaez from the Next Bite TV show and trackers pro team. There is 6 pro's that get 2 boats each from tracker, they sell the first one from factory and deck the second one out for their tourny's. I was getting his tourny boat for 42,000 and it would of appraised here for close to 75-80,000 dollars. That was when our dollar was abit more than their's, but by time i committed and got the banking started our dollar went in the toilet. It was dropping fast and hard and with-in a week or so it put the boat out of my reach. Actually my boat is on it's way and should be in my driveway tonight or tomorrow morning. Can't wait to see her. First thing i am going to say to it is "Who's your daddy" or "Who's your captain" haha

Hi Rigg Dogg
Yup I'm going back for the month of July and then again for 2 weeks in the fall.
I'm with you on the catch size . We get a couple springs around 30 each year but most are 20 and under. The halibut are only 10-20 for the most part but we get lots . They're even better now that we've got it dialed in how to get them trolling with salmon gear! My next door neighbor had his neice out last year in August and she picked up a 52 her first morning!!! I've been trying to do that for ten years up there !
I've never stayed at Hidden Island but I've had a few beers and fish'n chips there. We have one of the army houses sold off in the 90's. It's a 4 bedroom 2 bath that my father in law picked up and we've since bought of the family. We've been spending part of each summer up there since '97. I go back in the fall for the blacktails and some river fishing .
I'll keep an eye out for your Grady (awesome boats) next year. Whats her name?

I like your taste in boats Tbosch !! You will not be disapointed . Very good idea to go with the upgraded top. Well worth the extra $$
Walleye my northriver handles big water great . I've crossed the straight of georgia to galiano island easily and used it off the north end of the charlottes
in a variety of weather . The engine mount off the transom gives almost 2 feet
extra length and the wide beam (96 in) makes this boat very stable . This is hard to get in a boat that you can tow with a V-6 Tacoma ! The 150 yamaha combined with the 8hp make fuel costs almost a non concern again . We got 6 full days off 1/2 tank of gas this year!

Yeah they are a beautiful boat. I'm hoping my buddy decides to chane to a flats boat now that he's in florida and sell me his. It's identical to the one in the picture. I've been up the fraser and the harrison in it and a few other newer "lighter" models and they can't compare to the stength of those north rivers.

holy mercy of mother and all the lambs
Those rigs are somthing else!
I will have to go get some pics of my 14' Escape Canoe, and my Lowe 12' Jon boat. I pimed out the jon last summer using some ideas from you guys and now I have just bought a pontoon boat from Mauserman.
Pics to follow!
Dear Bid Bad John! I still regret not getting out to Pigeon last fall for the get together but the Lady had other plans-she is now history! Did you know we are related? yup! I am your brother (from a different mother) so can I borrow your new boat? Or should I say "our" boat?
YOu can store it on my drive way if you like.

Alex how did you find a quiet day at the Provincial Park launch? No wind, sunny and no floatilla off the point? Are you sure you didn't photoshop your boat in there? Just kidding, nice rig!

Here's mine...A 1973 7.5hp Merc and 12 foot boat that I bought 5 years ago for $1000.00...I had the trailer made
for $500.00 and made it with a longer hitch because I pull it with my car and now I don't have to back into the water...These pics are 5 years old since computer crashed and I haven't recovered the hard drive yet and
I had these photos at work....

Well I dont have a boat but my ride is also my fishing machine. 1990 GMC Suburban, 6inch procomp lift, 35x1250R17 Dick Cepek Tires, Flowmaster exhaust, and a beauty of a chevy 350. No boat but it has got me into some lakes where i was told only quads would make it.
