Hi Everyone,

My name is Ben Lubbers. I live in Zeeland, MI and I love salmon fishing on Lake Michigan out of Holland. I started salmon fishing on my 15 1/2' aluminum boat about 3 years ago and have been hooked ever since. This year I summer I was trying to take a lot of acquaintances out with me but I was limited a lot by the weather (anything bigger than 2ft got really hairy on that boat). Finally this fall I decided it was time to upgrade and purchased a 1974 Slickcraft SS-235! Right now I am working on getting everything setup and in working order to start next year early. Hope to learn a lot from some more experienced fishermen on this site.

In case you didn't know, Slickcraft was the predecessor to Tiara and Pursuit boats. A very solid boat, and made in Holland Michigan. The SS 23.5 is a great platform and will keep you safe in some nasty seas.

Welcome aboard, and fell free to ask if you need anything.
