Details
The 35-foot fishing vessel Professor was custom designed and built by Armstrong Consolidated Incorporated in Port Townsend, Washington. The boat was designed specifically for chartering Lake Tahoe. With twin Mercury Verados the boat has 700Hp and is one of the fastest charter boats on the west coast. The heated cabin, large bathroom, cushioned seating, and size make the Professor the most comfortable boat on Lake Tahoe. To maximize the chance of catching fish, the boat comes equipped with a full set of fishing rods for both live bait and trolling.
