New aluminum boat / Silver Streak Carmanah

I doubt that corrosion issue is specific to Silver Streak boats. It's pretty much universal that you don't want carpeted bunks (basically a sponge) with aluminum boats
this, but the worst is pressure treated bunks with carpet.
 
i just recently sold my 2021 18ft carmanah because i was living on the island and moved to Alberta, mine was a hardtop, had it been a soft top with a walk through window i probably would have kept it, its was a super stable boat and i felt very safe in it. for trolling in lakes holding your rod you might find you sit high in the water compared to a open lake boat. but the main reason i didnt keep was i know in Alberta i like to be able to go on the bow and cast, i cant do that with a hardtop and solid window. i ordered the boat new from silverstreak and and built it for island life. re-sale was supper easy had offers in the first couple days and it was sold in less then a week. prior to this boat a I owned a hewescraft 190 Sea runner hard top. and i can tell you they are not the same class of boat. now my next boat im looking at for both alberta and salmon fishing will be another silver streak, 16ft challenger. they really do build a awesome boat.
