18’6″ Runabout Soft Top – Challenger All Welded Aluminum Boat
About This Boat
One of our most popular boat models, the classic Silver Streak Challenger has been in production in some variation for 25+ years! With heavy duty sides, solid gunnels, side stiffeners, and lots of leg room. This stable boat offers a big boat feel and separates this boat from the competition. The extra beam and gunnel height makes the Challenger simply the strongest and safest boat in its class. The 18 degree deadrise, integrated delta pad and transom pod all increase fuel economy and stability, while tackling anything the West Coast can throw at it. This vessel has the perfect balance of a big boat feel, while still being maneuverable on a trailer and at sea.
Soft-Tops are 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 having a convertible car - on a nice day just 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!

Why 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.
Client Testimonials
Dear Mr. Barry and your Silver Streak crew
Jordy and I had been looking for an aluminum boat for about a year. You name it we inspected it. Each one had its plusses but nothing stood out in our minds. Then, on the advice of Jordy’s co-worker we went to see a Silver Streak and in less than a heart beat we both knew our search had ended. I don’t know that I’ve ever made a decision that quickly about anything but everything about your boat spelled superior quality and design. It was beyond awesome.
But that was just the start of a very pleasure full experience with yourself and every member of your crew we came into contact with during the build. What a fine group of people you have surrounded yourself and Silver Streak with Andy. From start to finish there was nothing but good vibes for us in a world that doesn’t always work that way. It is for this reason that the Badwich family have put together our thank you card. Thank you for The Badwich, a boat we can proudly own for years to come.
Sincerely,
The Badwich family
The B family!
