As owner/operator of Trailhead Resort I would like to give you the straight goods on Silver Streak Boats. We fish the west coast of Vancouver Island on the open Pacific ocean, May through Oct. We travel up to and over 100 miles each day in search of the best Halibut and Salmon fishing off the coast. Think about that, 100 miles daily, wild open water, earning a living not pleasure cruising. We require not only tough boats. we need comfortable boats for our guests, we need fast efficient boats that do the job well and leave us enough energy to do that job again the next day. There are other welded boats out there, and there sure as hell are cheaper boats out there. but we know our boats can take it day in and day out, they look great and they wash up easy. Our boats are by far the nicest charter vessels in our community and we would be going backwards if we were to try a different product. You don’t want a boat that looks like a high school shop project, or worse yet one that is mass produced and not built to last, You want something special that is going to last you year after year, a hot looking welded boat with great finishing work, something you can use and abuse and still comes up looking and working good. We have been beating the crap out of Silver Streak’s for 10 years now and we still fish our first boat from them and just bought another from them this year. Personally as a businessman Silver Streak is a good investment, as a lover of cool quality toys Silver Streak is a great investment.

17′ Runabout Soft Top – Carmanah All Welded Aluminum Boat
About This Boat
Using the same robust hull design as the Race Rocks, the Carmanah takes it to the next level of class and usable comfort. Sporting full upholstery, abundant locking storage, stainless steel hardware and suspension pedestal seating, this vessel offers endless amenities and comforts to enhance your boating experience. The list of standard features and attention to detail is what makes this boat stand out on the water.
The Soft Top is one of the more popular trailerable sport fishing vessels we offer. Highly versatile and lightweight, it stores easy (just put the canvas top down and roll in), and like a convertible car, pop the top down and cruise or fish in the sun. Add an arch for fishing and rod storage, and a tow post to tow the kids around the lake!

View BoatWhy Silver Streak Boats?
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.
