Have any of you fine boaters out there heard of a "Wilker" boat?I heard they are manufactured in London Ontario but they dont seem to have a website and I cant find any info on them.Are they a decent boat? Thanks.

Re: Canadian Boaters

Wilkers have been around for years, my guess is close to 30. I see all kinds of them out there, I'm pretty sure they are built in the London area, not a huge operation but yet they have survived where others haven't so they must be doing something right, found a hit on them in the online yellow pages, their number is 519-482-8059, not too far from you, maybe give them a call and they can send you some info or go and visit them.

They are built in St. Thomas, they are a bit of an ugly duckling, but are very practical, handle rough stuff well, lots a space in them, a friend of mine has a 17' that we go out on lake Ontario every year to downrig lakers and chinok,very stable safe dry boat.

I have a Wilker Weekender 20' great boat, handles rough water and is very reliable. I beleive Skinners in London is the contact to buy from and they are built up in ClintonOld army base)
