That's a nice looking machine.  Where are they made?  Never heard of Fish Craft, but it looks like a dandy.
Nothing witty here.... move along.

They are built down in sisters oregon. If I have it right they went out of business for a couple years but are back at it again now. The guy who started fish craft was a welder for willie for like twenty years prior. I called and talked to them before buying this boat used and they seem like good guys down there. Now I just gotta get some fish in the box!

Looks like a boat I saw for sale a couple weeks ago in Cathlamet if I remember correctly. Newer Fishcraft in excellent condition @ a damn good price, wished I had a little extra cash. :bash:

Nice looking boat!  Time to get some blood in it and break it in!  Looks almost identical to my old Fish-Rite on the inside.  Well layed out boat and fished great and rowed like a dream.  Look forward to seeing your first picture holding up a giant steelie next to it.
