Arima Boats

Very little, but I have seen a couple at the boat shows. Pacific Northwest- built, and kinda interesting designs. They pack a lot into a short length.

Google them- they're in business and have a website.
 
I've never been on one, but I know a couple guys that run em on the Finger Lakes and Lake Ontario and they all love em. Seem really well made.

Love my Arima. Never talked to an owner who didn't feel the same way. Not the fastest boat on the water, but not designed to be. For trolling Puget Sound and inland lakes I couldn't imagine a better design or better built craft. Check this out if you haven't seen it yet.

Pretty boat. The hull looks a lot like I saw in the Fjiords of Norway in the mid 80's. Those were incredibly fuel effecient. I wonder if these are as well.
 
They're modelled after Japanese fishing boats. They're tall, wide and have a decent ride for their size. I would say it's the best small ocean boat you can find. It's pretty sloppy on the West/Northwest coast. That's were you find arimas.
