FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: KETCHIKAN, ALASKA / May 8, 2017 – Chinook Shores Lodge, a Ketchikan Alaska fishing lodge specializing in self-guided fishing and bareboat charters, today announced the addition of Orange Crush — its fifth custom-built 23′ Silver Streak rental boat — to its growing unguided fishing fleet.

Since introducing White Lightning in 2015, Chinook Shores Lodge has steadily replaced its original North River Seahawk fleet with custom-built Silver Streak aluminum hardtops. With Orange Crush now in the water alongside White Lightning, Red Rooster, Blue Phantom, and Green Hornet, the lodge operates five of the finest self-guided rental boats in Southeast Alaska.

“Each time we add a Silver Streak to the fleet, we’re giving more guests the freedom to fish Ketchikan’s Inside Passage on their own schedule,” said Jeff Wedekind, owner of Chinook Shores Lodge. “Orange Crush is built to the same exacting standards as our other boats — our guests can expect the same quality, safety, and performance they’ve come to rely on.”

Orange Crush arrives fully equipped for self-guided salmon and halibut fishing in the calm, protected waters of Knudson Cove and Clover Pass:

• 23′ Hard Top with 8’5″ Beam
• 150hp Outboard Engine with 9.9hp Kicker
• Aluminum Self-Bailing Decks with Deck Wash Down Pump
• Bow Cockpit with High Profile Handrails
• Transom Handrails and Downrigger Mounts
• Fish Box in Transom with Cutting Board
• Fish Box w/ Removable Liner in Aft Deck Compartment
• Cabin Top Handrails
• Rod Holders
• Scotty Downriggers
• Horizon VHF Radio
• Garmin GPSMAP Marine Chartplotter with CHIRP Sonar Fishfinder
• Vinyl Upholstered Swivel Seats on Shock Absorbing Back-Saver Pedestals
• Walk-Thru 3-Piece Windshield

As with all Chinook Shores Silver Streak rental boats, Orange Crush features solid aluminum hard tops and fully welded aluminum self-bailing decks, with the hull and gunnels sprayed with closed cell polyurethane flotation foam — giving unguided anglers the confidence to fish Southeast Alaska’s saltwater with the highest level of safety in the industry.
