I noticed your bow is enclosed, I like that feature. A lot of the aluminums have an open bow. That concerns me somewhat. Welcome eman

I had an '08 Hewescraft 220 Searunner ht/ext. transom built in the States... Colville, Wash. I researched boats that might suit our needs for almost 2 years before deciding on this boat. We boat year round on the westcoast of BC, both "inshore" and "offshore". I looked at most of the aluminum boats manufactured on the lower coast in BC first, and then made trips to the states to see boats of interest. After over 120 hrs now, I've been very pleased with this boat. We purchased it when the buck was $1.05 in our favor.
Anyway, let me know if you want more information....

Here's my trusty 1991 166 Double Eagle. Very seaworthy and goes like stink 45 mph+++!
Also one of the only ones made with Coast Guard orange topside after the 80's. Not my first choice for color scheme but it sure stands out!!!

Pictures of my boats. I fish them 2-3 weeks a year out of Bamfield and Ucluelet. The rest of the time they are available for rent.
We've had them out in nasty conditions open ocean conditions and they do very nicely. The ride in big waves is significantly better than we had expected (the suspension seats help a lot).
North River Seahawk 21 (2008)

Don't know how to post a pic either. But I have 2008 22' Ocean Pro from Hewescraft. Love it.

Silver Streak make *beautiful* boats. However, they are expensive compared to the assembly line aluminum boats coming out of the states. They are a higher quality, custom, commercial grade boat and you pay for it.
We priced a 21 foot silver streak and it was $30K more than the North River Seahawk 21 that we ended up buying.
That 30 foot Silver Streak you were on likely cost well in excess of $120K!

We are looking for a new boat and currently been looking at the Aluminums coming out of the states Hewes, Alumaweld, Northriver, Thunderjet etc. Does anyone have one of these or been on one
They look really sweet to me and have seen some for some really good prices. The one pictures is 20'.
Duckworth, Alumaweld, Customweld, Hewes, and Thunderjet all make nice boats. North River is undergoing some financial difficulties (I own two of them) but will likely survive in some capacity.
We run our North Rivers offshore all the time and they deal very nicely with swell up to 8-10 feet. The ride is not as good as a Grady, but still pretty good with the suspension seats.

I cant believe how many of you guys have Northriver boats. Id almost think that with such a flat bottom they'd be rough riding..
Fill the dam tub!
My North River Seahawk 21 actually has a pretty deep V and the dry weight is 2600 pounds. Its no Grady, but it does very nicely out of Ucluelet and Bamfield...
