2015 Silver Streak 25'-0 Landing Craft powered by Evinrude 300HP E-TEC G2
very nice vessels the metal bait wells do the baits get overheated in the hot florida summers? yes I'm one of the few w/ a big ass 24' aluminum pocket cruiser. so don't say are customers cruise the pasific north west. I see a ray dar on the bigger vessel but didn't see a GPS receiver?
Hi! The transom fish box likely wouldn't stay too cold without a bunch of ice! We do offer deck hatches with pull-out containers which might be a better option to combat the sun's heat. You can add GPS to any boat in our line-up 16'+. Nice to know there are some aluminum fishing boats out there in Florida! Happy fishing!
I love the ability to beach the boat 👍
1 first class. Alot of thought and detail. 👍
Thanks for watching! Appreciate your comments!
I appreciate the attention to detail and how you apply commercial/industrial grade materials and finishing even on smaller boats.
We do! It's especially important to keep the smaller models as sea worthy and safe for the operator/passengers if the weather picks up. If we're putting our name on it, it's got to be built to last, too! Thanks for the great comment. Happy boating!
Nyalic coating...a good thing?
It's a polymeric resin that has proven to help protect bare aluminum from various elements (salt water namely) extending the life and looks of the hull and other surfaces. We have had good success with this product over the years. Hope this helps! Thanks for your question
love your boats and built quality is incredible. You are one of the few companies that makes a cabin cruisers under 20'. your 18' gambler looks great, just wish it was cuddy cabin option.. would love to see a little 16-18' boat that a single person or couple could take out on vacation trips on the rivers, st lawerance, great lakes Mississippi. Where you have the 14' height restriction for bridges so these big 25'ers with command bridges can't go... Gambler with a sleeping cuddy, small toilet with blackwater tank (canada changed their laws so porta potties are illegal on boats now there). small water tank...maybe an underfloor slot for a freezer... cabin to deal with the bugs heat and maybe ac... something you could take and visit the towns along the st lawyerance river for days, without being killed by 3 dollar / foot docking fee s lol.
Hey! Now there is a trip to do. Good to know about the height restrictions and dock fees. Our 18'6" Gambier cabin can be made to have the bench seats convert to a bunk which is pretty handy for overnighters, although, without a cuddy it is trickier to fit a toilet and tanks. The smallest boat we build with a cuddy is our 21' Phantom - SE. This boat remains to have aft-leaning windshield, so no high command bridge but it does have a complete, enclosed cuddy area with hatch and door. Thanks for your great comment and compliments towards our craftsmanship! Happy boating!
@@silverstreakboats4129 There's something called. "The Great Loop" which is a non stop circle that runs you from the Mississippi, great lakes, Atlantic ocean coast, florida, back to the mississippi with several canals and smaller runs that let you do shorter loops by accessing the atlantic to the Mississippi without going around florida. C-dory use to make a "micro cruiser" Cdory-16, with short cabin seat, table, cuddy, toilet. putting an enclosed bimini on the c-dory 16'cruiser, and you had one of the smallest "boats" you could do long range cruises on. That said, the SE looks Amazing, bimini the back of that, add in freezers and hide a fridge somewhere. throw a solar or 2 on the roof, and take that on the loop.
i take delivery of a new to me Challenger 16 later this week. my first boat and i couldn't be more excited. so many adventures planned, near and far.
Congratulations on your new-to-you Silver Streak Boat! We hope you have a great Summer enjoying all the places it'll get you to. Let us know if you have any questions about your boat, we're happy to help. Happy fishing!
@@silverstreakboats4129 many thanks.
Have you done hydraulic cylinders for landing craft bow doors?
It can be done, however in our experience, it's better not to. We have found that the stroke of the cylinder does not have enough travel to enable the bow door to land on some beaches. This makes it less than ideal when trying to drive or carry equipment on or off the landing craft deck. Hope this helps! Thanks for your question
Been looking at buying a welded aluminum boat for a couple years now and just recently found out about Silver Streak. Bounced between Kingfisher, Hewescraft, Crestliner and the sort but could never pull the trigger as they all seemed overpriced and use wood for decks. This has got to be the best promo video for a boat company I have ever seen, the "duck" Trudeau flag on that olive drab boat proves it, also seeing the owner of the company demonstrate design, fabrication, and welding functionality is really outstanding. I'm sold on a 18' Carmanah now!!
This is a great comment, thank you! We are glad you stumbled upon on our brand and share the same values. We look forward to getting you into an 18' Carmanah! Let us know if you have any questions about this model and we'd be happy to help. Cheers!
Life time quality boats. If I was a younger guy, this is the boat I would buy. I bought a heavy aluminum sea-nymph deep V 35 years ago, and the hull is still like new. 1000’s of hours and great boat. I would have bought one of these if they were available back then.
Thanks Peter! We've been around since 1987 and from time-to-time get to see our earlier models coming back for service work. It's always great to see how well our Aluminum boats hold up to time and how well some owners take care of their boats. Likely much like you with your Sea Nymph. Thanks for commenting and happy fishing!
Awesome video. I’m glad you guys pumped out this video. It would be nice to see a video on most models individually, I know that’s a lot but more people need to see how great these boats are. Good seeing the boss man doing the videos too!
It would be nice to have a walk-around for each model...maybe in the future! Thanks for your comment and feedback! We appreciate it!
@37:47 this is the one Andy. That's the one that I dream about at work. That's the one I see every damn day. Hey I can dream right?
I like the quality of your detail that you and your crew of craftsmanship employees put your heart and souls into building some awesome boats. I can see the future for you in selling your boats to the yacht industry to supply them with strong light aluminum boats for transporting like a side by side along with bicycles, scooters, and for fishing while they are at anchor. I myself love your landing boats with the ramp at the bow because I could actually get my wheelchair into your boats so I could go fishing again. I hope you will get your boats on million dollar yachts because they want quality and dependable strong boats and love to get your company to supply them with your needs. Send your sales people to all their dealers and I wish you good luck buddy. Once you get a foot in the door with one or more of the explorer type yacht manufacturers you might need to have more people building double amount of boats with you because I can tell by your passion and others will also see. But on this video, that background music about drive me crazy.
Thanks for your feedback, we are glad to hear we were able to create an accessible boat for you! We haven't tapped into the super yacht world but then again, we like building for the customers we do have. Good people! We will work on the background music volume, too...you're not the only one that commented on it 😅 Thanks again and happy fishing!
Nice boats and good info love the flag on the green boat 🍁
Thank you! 😄
The video was informative and shows the quality of the boats. But that music was annoying and you couldn’t hear the speech.
Thanks for the feedback, we'll see if we can improve the quality of the video :)
Beautiful
I love my silver streak
I absolutely hate these music videos!
Those are some badass boats you guys nailed it. Visual, why I had no idea that they existed when I was younger see is believing right, I’ve seen all kinds of boat but not like that. I live in the valley here it’s bass and ski boats that’s it and that’s to bad for me now for if I was younger it would of been better planning all around. Visual effects change the we think. I know that if I seen them on are lakes and some rivers I’d have a different way of thinking so in closing I’ll say better planning on my part when I was younger and I think that’s it’s a lot of people think like that so get them out here to are lakes and rivers I know they would sale them self. VISUAL VISUAL VISUAL
Now imagine you are in a bigger boat like that and there is no cabin and there is 30 american troops in there and you have to go to a beach in france hope your boat doesnt explode from the mortars and you have to run up a beach with 20 german machine guns firing at you.
Wish these were in the United States. I want one of your boats to rent.
Great looking boat!
Very nice boat! Looks very good for the family. Where I made my mistake in life is buying a travel trailer and a smaller boat for camping with the family and it was a lot of fun but I should of been looking at something like this, there just was not a lot of info out at the time and I did not see things like this living inland.
Rough payload of this boat?
she's sitting on the bottom of the lake ;)
After owning a couple boats with water logged spray in foam that would be a No go for me. Closed cell or not it will eventually absorb water is it gets wet. Block foam would be much better.
There are videos on you tube comparing closed cell spray foam with billet block foam. The block foam always absorbs more water than the spray foam. We put a lot of thought into the design of the hull and how/where we apply the foam to ensure water is not getting beyond watertight bulkheads and that the foam is sprayed in such a way that it causes minimum pooling. We are at the mercy of government standards to use a coast guard approved foam along with maintaining level flotation. Thanks for your comment!
Nice dive boat...
Thanks!
Ill take it!
Hi, is Canada requiring to have flotation foam in ALL boats? Can i remove all my foam from my 12ft aluminium utility boat?
Hi, great question! As a manufacturer we are mandated to provide so much flotation per cubic ft for vessels < 5m in length. Furthermore, we also must track how much flotation each boat receives. However, we have seen used boats of various brands that lack flotation, have damaged (exposed/porous) flotation or removed flotation, as well. It is one of those things, it's not a problem until it's a problem. There is a reason these standards exist. The boat may react the same in the water, but has safety been affected and to what degree? Will your boat be inspected for flotation? Is it an insurance issue? Lots to think about for sure! We hope this helps. Best of luck and always, happy boating!
@@silverstreakboats4129 Thank you very much for your answer. I will do a little more research before removing my floatation. I want to do some simple work and need to put minimal floatation. As it is not for insurance or inspection purposes i think there wont be too much problems. Thanks for your time and help
what a boat...
price?
Hi! The boats are custom configured so the price fluctuates with the different options. For more info or to find a Dealer near you, you can visit our website at www.silverstreakboats.com. Thanks!
What a perfect boat.i know what my next one will be.
Thanks Robert! We look forward to getting you into a Silver Streak Boat!
That hull looks the race rocks/carmanah? I just got my 18ft Carmanah soft top from SG power and am really impressed with the build quality so far. We looked at buying hewes, weldcraft, and kingfisher but when I learned that they had plywood decks with vynil wrapped floors and Silver Streak had welded aluminum floors with non-water absorbing foam it made the choice easy. Plus the hull shape/deeper V of the Carmanah vs the others was what sealed the deal. I have had our boat in some decent waves backing into them to recover prawn traps and the boat exceeded my expectations!
Correct! Same design as your Carmanah. Congrats on your new boat! Glad to hear you are out there enjoying it! We also appreciate your attention to detail when shopping for your new vessel. It's these small things that make a big difference for the operator on the rougher seas. Not to mention make for a longer-lasting and more valuable boat. Take care of it and watch it keep it's value for a very long time! Hope to see you out there. Happy fishing!
I wanna buy this
Very impressive
Gorgeous boat! Great shot at the end of the video showing the hull from the front. Would love to see video of an 18” Race Rocks/Carmanah handling some chop. Seems like a great boat for Georgian Bay.
Can't see them doing the stability test as per transport Canada in which we have to place half of "50% of the live load of the vessel, up to 250 kg (550 lbs) and, if the live load exceeds 250 kg (550 lbs), 12% of the excess;" on one side. Would be interesting to see how the boat behave in that situation ....
Nice boat !
AND! This is freshwater... saltwater it would float even better. Well done guys hope to own a silver streak someday.
That's right, good catch! Hope to get you in a Silver Streak boat! Cheers!
Silver Streak Boats Just purchased a 18' race rocks from SG Power... It's been a dream of mine to own one of your boats since I was a child in sooke.. My dream has finally come true.
