We are your direct point of contact throughout your built-to-order boat build. Fishhook Boats builds the boat — we help you choose the hull, configure your build, and stay in your corner from order to delivery, and long after.
Our customers fish across the country. Fishhook Boats are designed for hard work in serious water — here's where they shine and the species they were built to chase.
Talk to a real person about whether the Killer-V or V-String is right for your water. We've fished both — and we'll tell you straight.
$250 holds your place in the build queue and locks in pricing. Fully refundable until your build begins.
We hand-deliver every boat on the trailer with a full water-side walk-through and orientation, anywhere we serve. Pickup at the shop is welcome too.
Most built-to-order Fishhook Boats orders are built and delivered in roughly 3–6 weeks. Fast turnaround for a boat built to your spec, while other builders quote months.

Every Killer-V and V-String is built-to-order to your spec at our Umpqua River Valley, Oregon yard — no waitlists, no queue games, no stripped-down inventory shells. Most orders are built and delivered in roughly 3–6 weeks.
Thirty features ship on every Fishhook 21 we deliver. None are upcharges. Tap below to see the full list, or scroll on for the highlights.
Diamond plate aluminum is durable and easy to clean — and it's also slick when wet, hard on knees, and quick to mark up shins. Fishhook Boats doesn't strip it out. They cover the surfaces that touch you.
No more shin bruises, no more cuts from slick diamond plate when the deck is wet.
Marine-grade EVA on the bow, forward side gunnels, and forward deck. Standard. Not an upcharge, not an aftermarket kit. The bruise-free upgrade you didn't know you wanted.
The numbers that change how the boat feels on the water. The 32-inch sides keep the swell outside where it belongs — drier ride, safer cockpit, more confidence when the wind picks up. The 82-inch bottom delivers stability when you're drifting, anchored, or working a fish, and enough cockpit room for all anglers to fish without crossing lines.
And the 52-gallon tank means you plan trips around fish, not fuel range. Run out, troll all day, run home — without checking the gauge or babying the throttle. These are specs that win where it counts — on the water.
Quiet, efficient, factory-matched four-stroke power. Rigged to the hull and ready to run from the moment you take delivery.
Trolling speed and backup power. Matched to the main motor and pre-rigged to run alongside it.
Not a generic trailer with a sticker. The trailer is built specifically for the boat — fully welded aluminum, sized to the hull, and equipped to a level that most builders charge thousands extra for. Included with every Fishhook Boats.
Standard on every Fishhook Boats. Marine aluminum cross-hatched for grip. Slip-resistant, easy to hose out, built to take a beating without flexing.
Built into the deck. Subtle, dependable, ready when you push off before sunrise.
Five high-back Hook-Master captain's seats — built-to-order sewn by Fishhook Boats with the logo embroidered into each backrest. Full 360° swivel pedestals, single-piece welded aluminum armrests, and marine-grade two-tone vinyl built to take sun, salt, and full-day use. Each seat sits on a lockable 16″×16″×12″ welded aluminum box, so every footprint doubles as secure dry storage. Five seats, five lockable boxes, zero wasted floor space.
Built for the rods you actually fish with. Lockable gunwale storage, felt-lined to protect blanks and reels in transit. Welded 8″ polished aluminum cleats included.
Side-by-side fish storage. Both lockable, both insulated. Use one for the catch, one for ice — your call.
Two batteries housed in the transom with a master battery switch for full electrical isolation. Off / Battery 1 / Battery 2 / Both — turnkey wiring, no aftermarket guesswork.
A welded-in jeweled aluminum plate set into the bow point — built and finished by Fishhook Boats, not an aftermarket adapter bolted on top. Universal mount that accepts every major electric trolling motor on the market (Minn Kota, Garmin, all of them) and doubles as the bow anchor plate. Beneath it: weld-in brackets, a dedicated battery tray, and pre-run wiring. Drop in your motor, drop in the battery, and you're done.
The biggest in the industry — sized big on purpose. Built to take a swinging anchor without denting the hull, and to shrug off rocks and road debris during the tow. Full-perimeter wrap protects the bow stem coming and going.
Built-to-order paint with the full Fishhook Boats decal package — body decals, accent stripes, and matching trim. Standard, not an upcharge.
Painted into the hull at the bow — not stick-on vinyl that peels at the corners. Your assigned registration numbers are color-matched to the boat and sized to integrate with the decal layout, so they read as part of the design instead of a regulatory afterthought. Standard on every Fishhook Boats.
Stainless steel cleats mounted to the gunnel. Fold flat when not in use, deploy instantly when you need them.
Sealed and lockable navigation cabinets at the helm. Keep electronics dry and visible at the same time.
Built-in wash-down system. Hose down the deck, the gear, the catch — without stepping off the boat.
Auto-switching bilge plus plug-in stow-away navigation lights. Tools you didn’t know you needed until you needed them.
Pure aluminum, dual at the transom. Sacrificial protection that lasts a season, not a month.
Welded brackets for two transducers — chartplotter and side-imaging, or anything else you run.
Inside-gunnel rubber for sliding rod holders. Includes a transom tray for anything you need within arm’s reach.
Lined storage along both gunnels, end to end. The lining holds gear in place and quiets the rattle — no more fishing for tackle that rolled out of reach.
Welded, polished, sized for an actual anchor rope. Holds when it counts.
Large lockable forward-deck box, with battery support and trolling-motor wiring already prepped.
A bad tank of fuel can ruin an outboard. The inline separator catches water and contaminants before they reach the Mercury — cheap insurance on a major investment, and standard on every boat.
Backlit and visible day or night. Glance and go — no flashlight, no guessing on early-morning launches or dusk runs back to the ramp.
Built-to-order, easy to access, fully illuminated. Switch on lights, pumps, and accessories without taking your eyes off the water — the kind of detail you only notice when it isn’t there.
Full-width aluminum tray welded into the transom — built-in storage for tools, gear, and tackle, right where you need it. Welded means it’s part of the boat. No bolts, no rattles, no tray that comes loose at year three.
Six built-to-order welded chocks across the bow keep anchor and dock lines exactly where they should be — no chafe, no tangles, no rope falling overboard while you’re fighting a fish. The hinged center hatch opens to a dedicated anchor rope storage compartment, so the rode lives below deck and out of the way until you need it.
Two welded net holders at the bow bulkhead so your landing net is always within arm’s reach when the fish hits the boat. Plus a port-side rope retrieval bracket that turns one of the most annoying jobs on the water into a non-issue.
The boat ships complete out of the box. These are the upgrades worth considering.
The marine-grade EVA foam on the bow, forward side gunnels, and forward deck is a standard feature. This has 2 upgrades available.
Marine-grade waterproof canvas, built-to-order, cut to the hull. A stainless steel center pole tents the cover so water sheds off and the boat stays completely dry inside. Long-term protection from weather, UV damage, and debris during storage.
A four-piece marine canvas top built around the helm — nose piece, side panels, sun shade top, and back curtain — that buttons up to enclose the cockpit in weather and rolls back when you’re fishing.
Pull the sides and front off and you’re left with a clean overhead sun shade top — open visibility, full coverage from above. Stainless finger pulls on every panel make swapping configurations a one-handed job.
Form-fit marine vinyl covers tailored to the Hook-Master captain’s seats. Slip them on between trips to keep upholstery dry, dust-free, and protected from sun and bird damage. One cover per seat, all five included.
Pick your hull, your floor, your add-ons. Reserve with $250. We'll handle the rest from Umpqua River Valley.

The "Competitor's 21' Aluminum" column reflects the common standard package across major Pacific Northwest aluminum builders in this class. Specific equipment varies by manufacturer.
For an accurate comparison against a specific brand, ask a Lumina rep — we'll pull the current spec sheet and walk it through with you, line by line.
This is a comparison of standard equipment, not a verdict on which boat is best for you. Some builders excel at things Fishhook Boats doesn't try to do — and the right boat depends on how and where you fish.
That conversation is what we're here for.
Pick your hull, your floor, your add-ons. Reserve with $250. We'll handle the rest from Umpqua River Valley.
Both boats share an identical hull above the waterline — same console, same motors, same trailer, same standard equipment. The difference is what's underneath.

Now what about the rest of the boat flooring? Diamond plate aluminum is the default on every Fishhook Boats. EVA foam upgrades add cushion underfoot for long days, and powder-coat adds color and corrosion protection.
Add-ons are optional — you can also order any of these separately after delivery. We recommend at least the full boat cover if you're trailering or storing outside.
