I was perusing the NW Sportsman blog and came across this pic:



Looks like they did some nice fiberglass work and even replaced the entire windshield.  I'd love to see more pics.  Anyone know this boat?

I've seen several custom tops on Arimas- here's one from last summer in Possession Sound.
The fellow said he made it himself.  The deck hatch appears to have been crafted from wood.

 Chasin the boat you are asking about  I have seen one the Columbia from Portland to Buoy10.  In the spring he hangs around the mouth of the Willamette to the St.Helens area. Somewhere in the archives there are more pictures of that boat.

I've admired that first boat many times while springer fishing down around St. Helens.  Up close, it is beautiful... mixture of custom fiberglass work and some mad woodworking skills.

Just judging by the cabin length I'd say it's a Chaser...17'er size.
But pictires can be deceiving...
