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!

Post by: KimberRich on February 18, 2011, 08:36:54 AM: 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.
