Current Needs<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Additional Halibut Boat<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We would like to purchase a second halibut boat, one that we can use for additional groups to go out fishing to more places. Having a second boat would let campers go troll for kings and coho and fish on the west side of the island for halibut and lingcod while our current boat fishes Red Bay and Snow Pass like normal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are specifically looking for a 22′ – 24′ welded aluminum ocean-going boat with a cabin and a minimum outboard size of 100hp with a separate kicker. This boat should be able to fish up to six people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alternatively, we are also more than willing to accept a donated boat that fits these parameters, providing one becomes available. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Estimated Cost: $40,000<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

To expand the fishing opportunities for campers, we are wanting to upgrade some of our current camp equipment. Here is what we’re wanting to purchase:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– One new boat trailer for the flat-bottom skiffs<\/p>\n\n\n\n
