It is a 1988 Corwin 15'4" with a 6'9" bottom at rear, 900# center console fiberglass outboard skiff made by Enterprise Boats in Rancho
Cordova, California.
It specs out very very near a 15' Boston Whale but with a V-bow.
I think it was purchased new by the CDF&W and used to run around in the Delta and Bays?
As soon as I get more of the cosmetics finished I will take it to Brian at Sutter Marine to install a Yamaha 50hp 4 stroke on it.
Then I need a bow mounted electric motor and a good GPS/Finder.

That looks like a real solid boat with deep sides. Should be fairly stable for casting. Once you get it over to Sutter Marine there will be a stripping basket waiting for you to try out.
Just in time for stripers in the delta and should be perfect to take over to Lawson's Landing.

Looks like a great hull.
Consider a 60 in place of a 50 if possible. I know my 15 did ok w 50, but the addition of 10 hp made a big difference with holeshot and cruising.

I got a real good price on a good used Yamaha 50hp 4 stroke or I would love to put a new 60hp on it.......good info Mr T.
I like max HP on boats if the buyer has the budget for it.
They recommend a minimum of 80% Max HP if price is an issue.
