To Andrew Barry
As a long time boater my needs are specific. Here in Alberta, finding a suitable aluminium boat proved impossible, so after a lot of searching and analyzing, I decided to order my new boat from Silver Streak Boats. The long distance ordering process and numerous emails, went smoothly. Took delivery on March 25th with a sea trial…my first impression…WOW what a great ride!!!. Many thanks to Andrew Barry and his dedicated team of welders, electricians, installers, finishers and office staff for building a safe, tough, great riding, good looking small boat. I am extremely confident that it will service my needs for many years to come.

17′ Runabout Hard Top – Race Rocks All Welded Aluminum Boat
About This Boat
Based on our all-weather West Coast hull design, this deceptively roomy, all-welded vessel is ready for any adventure. From the one-piece formed sides to the foam filled gunnels, this boat is durable, safe and stable in all weather conditions.
Low maintenance, unsinkable and dry, this boat will keep you on the water and retain its value for many years to come. The Race Rocks Hard-Tops are a low maintenance model for those that leave their boats in the water. Throw some crab traps on the roof, add some rod holders and enjoy this salty boat! Add a walk-thru window and bow ladder for ease of beach exploration.

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.
