Aluminum boats require a lot less maintenance than fiberglass boats. Aluminum is more durable, longer lasting, and easier to maintain. All our boats are available with a selection of bottom paint options to meet your specific boating needs.
Andy Barry - Owner of Silver Streak Boats has been building a reputation for building the finest aluminum boats on the west coast since 1987. Find out for yourself why our aluminum boats are among the most sought after, both new, and used.
All Welded Aluminum Boats means there are no rivets or other seals or connections that weaken overtime, create leaks, and will eventually fail. Welded aluminum boats are among some of the toughest boats out there. Probably why they have become a staple of the west coast.
Our aluminum boats require very little ongoing maintenance. No carpets to maintain, no wood to replace and clean. High quality electrical connections mean minimal effort to maintain. Outboard motors mean a simple "end of life" switch, and protect your investment.
16′ Open – Challenger All Welded Aluminum Boat
About This Boat
This Open model is built with a wider beam and has a bigger boat feel. This fully welded open boat with integrated integral 5" aluminum gunnels and aluminum floor make it sturdy and safe for ocean fishing or adventuring. Adding optional under deck fuel tanks, bow locker and a fish box make it a complete package. There’s plenty of room for swivel chairs and a cooler. Not to be confused with a stereotypical open boat, this vessel is rock solid, sea worthy and a great fishing platform.
