Fish-Rite builds welded aluminum boats in Grants Pass, Oregon, on the Rogue River. That is river and reservoir country much like ours, and the boats show it: plate-aluminum hulls, reverse chines and lifting strakes for a dry, stable ride, and layouts built around fishing.
They are purpose-built fishing boats, not runabouts with rod holders added. Depending on the model you get tray rod storage, fish boxes, pedestal seating you can fish from all day, and a canvas or hard top to keep you out there when the weather is not cooperating.
As an authorized Fish-Rite dealer, we stock the Sportsman and can order any model in the lineup, set up with the length, top, seating and power that suit how and where you fish.
We can order any Fish-Rite model. The ones marked "In our inventory" are on the lot or on order right now.
The all-rounder, and the Fish-Rite we stock. Full reverse chine, two lifting strakes, a canvas top with sides, two pedestal seats and seven rod holders are standard. Ask us about XT and hardtop (HT) builds.
The simple, open fishing boat. Reverse chine hull, rod holders, diamond-plate decking and a full step deck with storage, in a size that is easy to tow, launch and fish from on foothill lakes.
Built around full-length box stringers with a wide 101-inch beam, a fish box and an anchor box. The bottom plate steps up to a quarter inch on the 22-footer.
More boat for bigger water. Four lifting strakes, a .190-inch bottom, canvas top with sides and drop curtain, and a transom fish box, in five lengths from 19 to 23 feet.
Guide-grade construction: a quarter-inch 5086-alloy bottom and transom, self-bailing deck, trim tabs and six rocket-launcher rod holders.
The big-water Fish-Rite. A 114-inch beam, hydraulic steering and trim tabs, with a marine head and V-berth cushions for long days and overnights.

| Outfitter | 21', 23', 25' | 102" | 400 | .250" | Guides and hard daily use |

Specifications are from Fish-Rite and vary by length and options. We will confirm the numbers for the exact boat you are considering.
Our water is hard on boats. Reservoir levels drop through the summer, ramps get rough and rivers move gravel around every winter.
Every seam on a Fish-Rite is welded. There are no rivets to work loose and weep after seasons of trailering and pounding across chop.
Fish-Rite uses .125-inch sides and bottoms from .160 to .250 inch depending on the model. Gravel bars, stumps and low-water ramps leave scuffs, not repair bills.
There is no gelcoat to wax, chip or blister. Rinse it, service the motor and go fishing. Decontamination between lakes is simpler on an open aluminum boat too.
Tell us where you fish and we will point you to the right hull, length and power.
Bass and trout on Folsom, Rollins, Collins Lake and Camp Far West. An Angler or 18-foot Sportsman is light to tow up Highway 49 and easy to launch when the water is down.
Striped bass, shad, steelhead and salmon when seasons allow. The Sportsman and Rivermaster give you the beam and bottom plate for current, anchoring and gravel.
Long runs, wind against tide and a lot of open water. A Performer with a top and side curtains keeps you fishing through a cold striper morning.
Trolling deep, cold lakes for mackinaw and kokanee means big water and fast-changing weather. This is where the larger Performer, Outfitter and Navigator hulls make sense.
A fishing boat gets used hard. Buying it from the shop that will service it means one phone call when something needs attention.
The shop that sells your boat is the shop that maintains it. Oil and filter service, 25, 50 and 100-hour services, impeller and prop work, trailer inspections, winterization and shrink wrap all happen here in Auburn.
Golden mussel rules now affect launching at Folsom Lake and Lake Clementine. We decontaminate boats in our own shop, so the paperwork side of a lake day is one less thing to chase.
Our online credit application takes a few minutes. Send it in and we will follow up with your options and next steps.

A welded hull has no rivets to work loose, and aluminum plate shrugs off the gravel bars, launch ramps and floating debris that are part of fishing Northern California rivers and reservoirs. Fish-Rite builds with .125-inch sides and bottoms from .160 to .250 inch depending on the model.
For foothill lakes, the Angler and Sportsman are easy to tow, launch and fish from. For rivers and the Delta, the Rivermaster and Performer add beam, a heavier bottom and more horsepower. Guides and big-water anglers tend to look at the Outfitter and Navigator. Tell us where you fish and we will help you narrow it down.
