Welcome! Thanks for stopping in to take a look at our latest designs in fishing boats. Our boats are not your typical pontoons boats, but Whitewater Catarafts and Heavy-duty Kicks. We have five models for you to choose from: the Steelheader I in 9-foot and 10-foot lengths, the 12-foot Steelheader ll, the Steelheader III, and the 9-foot or 10-foot Ospreys.
In the News, our Steelheader and Osprey crafts were featured in "Salmon Trout Steelheader" magazine. We have photographs of our boats in action and comments from fisherman like yourself. If you have any comments, great stories, or suggestions please let us know.
We are currently seeking dealers interested in distributing our boats. If you are interested in becoming a Skookum Distributor, please contact us.

Steel Galvanized Whitewater Breakdown Frame
Our frames break down small enough to store in a closet. They're easy to disassemble and can be transported in a car or plane. Yet, with seven cross-members, they're very strong. Collisions with rocks, trees or log jams won’t bend them.
Flip Down Padded Swivel Seat
Seats have a 360-degree turning radius. When river currents change the boat’s direction, simply pivot in the seat. Fish the river banks without turning the boat. The padded seat is very comfortable and providing good back support.
Whitewater Pontoons (9' x 15" – 10' x 19" - 12' x 21" - 16' x 28" )
Our pontoons are strong and durable with 150-ounce seams, 100-ounce top and bottom rub strip, and skid plates. 3800 / 5500 denier PVC-coated polyester material. They're not affected by UV-sun rays or water, and are highly puncture and tear resistant. Our pontoons are made to last for 20 years with a 15-year limited warranty. All pontoons have skid plates on the top & bottom. The top is 100-ounce/3800 denier, and the bottom with 150-ounce/5500 to 6000. They also have 8 stainless steel D-rings and heavy-duty black powder coating.
Halky Robert Style Valves
Used in the industry for over 40 years, these valves have been proven the most reliable on the market, and they're easy to replace!
Standing Platform
Large enough to stand on, the 24" x 21" floor makes maneuvering easy. The skidguard floor is water proof, and can be removed in 30 seconds. It also acts as a casting basket for flylines, and as a trolling deck. You can stand and site cast to fish, or stretch your legs. It provides easy entry to the seat, and it's coated with a resiliant anti-skid material.
Oarlocks
The guage of our oar-locks is the most prevalent in the world - 5/8". Oarlocks in 5/8" can be found almost anywhere. We ship Oars and Oarlocks with nylon sleeves that fit the 5/8" size. Over 40 kinds of oarlocks fit the Steelheader. (Sleeves reduce oarlocks to 1/2" shafts )
Oars
7-foot oars with whitewater blades are standard. Optional 71/2-foot breakdown, composite oars are available upon request. All models can use 7.5-foot oars, except the Steelheader II which requires 9-10-foot oars.
Rear Deck
Our decks provide enough room for a week of camping gear, or even a large cooler.The frame has lots of room for dry bags, gear, and equipment.
Easy Motor Mounting
Motors mounts on the rear deck or front platform!
Anchor Option
The anchor option comes with stainless Steel/Delren ball-bearing Harken Swivels, brackets, and a ratchet cleat sytem. Unlike the wimpy KickBoat anchor systems that fall apart, or use a small diameter rope, our system can stop a loaded 18’ Drift Boat. The Steelheader system really works!
