CHALLENGER II

New for 2002 - CHALLENGER II
a 42 Foot Fishing Machine

Challenger II provides all the comforts of home and creates one of the most inviting fishing platforms on Lake Michigan. Challenger II is a 42 foot long, 14 foot wide Trojan with a ocean going hull. Challenger II is powered by twin 454 Crusader engines that can power her through the roughest of seas and allow her to troll for the toughest of fish. With a beam of 14 feet, Challenger II provides one stable fishing platform. Don't believe us? Take a look at the results from Challenger II's inaugural trip.


 
...April 27th, 2002, 20mph east winds, 3 - 5 foot seas, one brother, one brother-in-law, two kids, one limit of Coho salmon, in 2 hours, and one happy Captain Bob!  What a wonderful first trip for the new Challenger II!

Don't miss the opportunity to get aboard Challenger II this season.  Call today to book your trip. 1-888-4CPTBOB or e-mail: captbob01@hotmail.com

Even with the new Challenger II, Captain Bob still guarantees...

NO FISH, NO PAY!
