A Custom Aluminum Fishing Boat Built for Vancouver Island Waters
Finding the right fishing boat for British Columbia waters means choosing a vessel that can handle changing conditions, long days on the water, and serious fishing adventures. Built exclusively for The Harbour Chandler, this custom DMAC Marine 460HC-CC combines rugged welded aluminum construction with premium marine electronics, dependable power, and thoughtful fishing-focused features.
Designed for anglers who fish Vancouver Island, the Gulf Islands, and coastal British Columbia, this fully rigged package is ready for salmon fishing, prawning, crabbing, bottom fishing, and recreational cruising from day one.
Why Choose a Welded Aluminum Fishing Boat?
Aluminum fishing boats remain one of the most popular choices for West Coast anglers thanks to their durability, low maintenance requirements, and proven performance in coastal waters.
The DMAC Marine 460HC-CC features a professionally welded 4mm aluminum hull, sides, and deck, providing exceptional strength and longevity. Measuring 17.3 feet in length with a wide 7.15-foot beam, this center console delivers outstanding stability while remaining easy to tow, launch, and operate throughout Vancouver Island.
The complete Ultra Deck package adds comfort, traction, and durability, making long days on the water more enjoyable whether you're chasing salmon offshore or exploring local bays and inlets.
Powered by a Tohatsu 115HP Four-Stroke
At the heart of this custom build is a dependable Tohatsu 115HP four-stroke outboard paired with a stainless steel propeller. This combination delivers excellent fuel economy, smooth performance, and reliable power for a wide range of fishing and boating applications.
The professionally installed Tohatsu TOCS 4.3-inch LCD digital gauge package provides clear engine information at a glance, helping operators monitor performance and maximize efficiency while underway.
Premium Simrad Electronics and Navigation
Modern fishing success often comes down to electronics, and this vessel has been outfitted with a premium Simrad navigation and fish-finding package designed for serious anglers.
The electronics package includes a Simrad NSS4 12-inch multifunction display, Airmar P66 transducer, and Airmar Point-1 GPS antenna. An extended NMEA 2000 network integrates critical onboard systems, including a NMEA 2000 fuel level sender, creating a seamless and expandable electronics platform.
Whether you're searching for bait schools, marking productive fishing grounds, or navigating Vancouver Island waters, this system delivers the information needed to fish confidently.
Built for Serious Sport Fishing
Every aspect of this custom build has been selected with anglers in mind.
A Uflex hydraulic steering system paired with a stainless steel steering wheel provides precise handling and control. A professionally installed Interstate dual battery system ensures dependable power delivery throughout the vessel.
For safety and communication, the boat is equipped with an ICOM M330 VHF radio and a Shakespeare 5225-XT Galaxy antenna, providing reliable communication on the water.
Additional fishing-focused features include a Rule 2000 GPH bilge pump, Rule bilge control panel, Jabsco HotShot HD washdown system with stainless steel washdown outlet, and stainless steel drink holders throughout the vessel.
