Fisher bosts

Any body know anything about them? Particularly the 2002 fisher fishhawk 18. 5 ft boat. I already know its crazy underpowered.

Google it , stopped production in 2009 . Looks like a normal aluminum hull , what's your concern?

Fisher boats WERE top of the line UNTIL they were bought out by Brunswick.

Brunswick cheapened them up. Pretty much took the Spectrum boat line and slapped the Fisher name on them in about 1996. They were no longer indestructible but they looked prettier.

Did not like the way that welded hull handled.
Mine developed ripples at the bow from hitting waves at 30 mph. Sold it

90 hp on a boat rated for a 175. Has about 50% of its rated hp.

Hmmm , JD Power / Google show the 20' series max hp 115 hp . They could be wrong ,especially if thats what listed on the original plate . Hard to believe a legit boat dealer would " let " a boat go out the door at half the max rated hp . Maybe it's been replaced or the original owner didn't care if it only went 25- 30 mph . Take it out for a test ride with 2 or 3 people ,that'll give you all you need to know if it's going to work for you .

Its on the plate and JD power is not a reliable source for boat info. I don't need to test drive it to know its underpowered. Legit boat dealers underpower boats all the time. Keeps the price down.
