DEFIANCE BOATS
Defiance has been building boats since 2002 with the goal of creating the finest outboard powered pilothouse fishing boats on the marketplace. They must have had that goal in mind when they designed the Defiance 270 Admiral. The 270 is the largest of Admiral series with a length of 28 feet, six inches. The pilothouse can seat six comfortably, with two benches in the back and a captain and co-captain seats in the front with shock absorbing bases.

The 270 features three fish boxes built into the deck that provide space for the entire crew’s catch. There is an option for a bait tank that can double as a table when not in use. The boat also has built in rocket launchers for your rods. The transom bench seat is another interesting option that increases the lounge capability of the deck and can fold away when a fish is on. There are multiple options for power, with twin Yamaha engines ranging from F150s to F250s. If you require slower trolling speeds, there are also a number of kickers that can be included. All-around the Admiral 270 is a sturdy fishing vessel.

LIFE PROOF BOATS
Manufactured in Bremerton, Washington, Life Proof Boats builds semi-custom “collared” boats exclusively out of high-quality 5086 aluminum. Their boats feature a closed cell foam filled collar that adds durability and ease of boarding. The collars are made of EPE (expanded polyethylene) foam that provides over 60 pounds (27 kilograms) of flotation per cubic foot and is covered with heavy duty polyester fabric coated with urethane. The same foam is packed between the welded stringers in the floor grid of the hull to make the boats nearly unsinkable. Add self-bailing decks designed to clear all water in under a minute to a hull form that includes performance fins below the collar, and you have a safe, fast and fun RIB-style boat that has incredible tracking and cornering abilities even in rough conditions.

MONARO
Dan Parker has been building quality fibreglass boats in Richmond, BC, since the ‘70s. Monaros are known for their durability and seakeeping. In fact, there are Monaros currently operating in the arctic and Dan recently explained to me how they ran the Mackenzie from Hay River, the same path that Peter Robson and Larry Graf followed on an Aspen Power Catamaran (PY December 2019/January 2020). Monaro’s newest model, the 235 is designed mainly for day use, fishing or commuting but can be outfitted for weekending or extended cruising. Standard power is a Yamaha 250.
The proven, fuel-efficient hull shape is based on the successful Monaro 24 hull. A transom door is standard, as is a self-bailing cockpit. The boat comfortably seats four under the hard top, out of the weather. These boats are known for their dry, soft ride. All Monaros are built-to-order and if you are interested in dealing directly with a personable and knowledgeable boatbuilder, Dan will be happy to accommodate you.

NMI has been building quality boats in the Pacific Northwest since 1955 and claims to be the longest running fibreglass boat manufacturing company in the US. NMI has four boat lines under its umbrella, including C-Dory, Osprey, SeaSport and Skagit Orca.
The newest addition in the Sea Sport lineup is the Commander 2800. The trailerable Commander is the perfect size for both leisure family cruising and the diehard fisherman. By adding two feet in length and 13 inches in beam over the 2600 series, you gain many features that simply were not possible on the smaller boats. The full galley includes a two-burner propane cooktop, a deep sink with hot and cold water and a 3.5-cubic foot (one-cubic metre) fridge. The cabin also includes a fully enclosed electric marine head and a hot water shower system.
In the Osprey line, the 26-foot Legend is one of the most popular models. With a length of 26 feet (7.9 metres) the Legend was built to withstand rough waters and with comfort in mind. The cabin has a full galley with a deep sink and sufficient counter space for meal prep. There are two main layouts with the biggest difference being the location of the head. Layout A has the head tucked away in the V-berth, while layout B has made room for a small head behind the dinette. The 56-square foot (5.2-square metre) self-bailing aft deck affords ample space for fishing or room for chairs and a table for a comfy day at anchor.

PURSUIT
Florida-based Pursuit has been building quality fishing boats in a variety of styles since 1977.

Their current lineup stretches from 24 to 44 feet and includes offshore cabin boats, centre consoles, dual consoles and sport boats.
The DC 246 was introduced at the Palm Beach International Boat Show in 2021 and is still making waves. This 25-foot, eight-inch (7.8-metre) dual console is a stylish family sport boat. It features forward lounge seating on the bow and has significantly increased the cockpit size over its predecessor. Fold away the cockpit seating and the boat becomes fishing ready. It has gunwale rod holders, a 15-gallon (56.7-litre) live-well and a 31-gallon (117.3-litre) fish box in the transom. The DC 246 is powered by a Yamaha F300 that cruises comfortably at 29 knots with a top speed of 39 knots. This model has many customizable options with a cockpit wet bar, ski tow bar, a bow table that converts into a sunpad and several more that depend on the owner’s preferences.
The DC 266 Dual Console has proven to be a popular model in BC waters because of its size, quality and versatility. This Pursuit has a good-sized cockpit ideal for fishing, complete with a 20-gallon (90-litre) live well, gunwale mounted rod holders and transom fish box. It comes with reinforced aluminum plates and wiring for easy downrigger installation.

RANGER TUGS
Built in the Seattle area, Ranger Tugs builds a series of popular tugboat-style fibreglass cruisers from 23 to 43 feet. These boats are known for having flexible interior layouts and a boatload of amenities. Ranger Tugs’ R-27 sleeps four in two cabins or six if you fold down the dinette table. It has a fully equipped galley with refrigerator, deep stainless-steel sink, propane stove and oven. The saloon is accented with teak, while an overhead glass atrium, large opening windows, a curved glass windshield and opening hatches provide sweeping views, light and air. Powered by a 300-horsepower Yamaha outboard, the R-27 can reach top speeds over 30 knots. Patented laminar flow interrupters help deliver smooth positive cornering. A large cockpit with fold-down seating is equally suited to entertaining or fishing. A tender is essential for cruising but storing the dinghy on an outboard powered boat can be challenging. Ranger Tugs has developed an innovative new dinghy lift system that lets boaters carry and stow a compact RIB that can be loaded using Weaver snap davits and then folds up and is winched into position over the top of the outboards.

SILVER STREAK BOATS
Built in Sooke, BC, Silver Streak makes a wide variety of commercial and pleasure craft from welded aluminum. A recent small-boat project is a 19-foot landing craft/centre console.

The welded aluminum centre console has a three-sided windshield, hard top and bench seating.
