Boat Rentals

I know this is an odd question, but I'm looking to rent a boat in August to go muskie fishing with some relatives. Mid-August for 4-5 days.

I want something around 15-16ft with a 30-40hp side console. Something with thin gunnels so I can mount down-easter rod holders too. A trolling motor and sonar would be a bonus (I already have GPS and maps).

Most places I've called, only have 9.9hp tillers. This will do in a pinch, but I don't want to get caught out on the big O when a storm blows up.

Any suggestions, or anyone here interested in renting out their boat?

Cheers,

Patow

I've never tried to rent any power boats there, so I don't know if they'd fit your needs, but you can rent them at Petrie Island.

Like I said, they may not be exactly what you need, but if you call the bait shop (Ozilies) I'm sure they could fill you in.

Thanks guys! Great links.

Some good leads. My only concern is the ability to mount rod holders for trolling for muskies. I guess I could spend the week casting.

I have all this gear collection dust in my garage (although not as much dust as in BBRs pants), so maybe I'll just splurge and buy a new boat. I should never have sold my Lund a few years ago (stupid work). Damn thing collected dust for an entire season because I was working OT constantly. Man, did that suck!
