Made a trip to Everett, WA last week and pulled the trigger on a new to me aluminum fishing boat. Its a 20' 07' Columbia with a Yamaha 150 main and a high thrust Yamaha 9.9 kicker mounted on an offshore bracket. Columbia boats are no longer made these days but the builder of this is Renaissance Marine in Clarkston, WA, same builder of DuckWorth. These style boats are anemic here in Utah which is why I expanded my search out of state. You will see them in abundance in places like the Gorge with vacationers from other states. I went to the boat show a couple of weeks ago expecting to see high end ski/recreational boats and walking out disappointed. This show this year wasn't disappointing at all. Good news is there were some top notch aluminum fishing boats, DuckWorth, ThunderJet, etc. There is a builder now in Chubbuck, ID, near Pocatello, that builds the same style as ThunderJet. The contact is through Park-A-Way RV & Marine Super Center.
