Here is the deal. I am in search of a mid to upper 1980's boat that my father and I can work on to make into a Great Lake Salmon fishing boat. I am trying to find a quality constructed boat that is going to last many years and hopefully my young kid can fish off of as well as they grow. This is what i am looking for. Something in the 25-30 foot range with inboard engines and a clean back deck since working with downriggers and landing fish off of the back can be a hassle at times. Some boats I have considered looking at already are the Penn Yans which i think were designed for the Great Lakes, Tiara's, Albemarle, Aquasports and Phoenix boats. Does anybody know of other vessels that are high quality built boats and if the ones I listed have faults please let me know. Thanks a lot!
