Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE BOAT

Refurbished comfort for easy cruising

The pontoon has been completely redone with new upholstery on all seats and new carpet; it’s a 25-horsepower craft suited to slow, comfortable runs up and down the chain.

THE WATER

A chain with variety: calm sections, wake zones, and a sandy beach

The Mt. Morris Chain offers stretches for peaceful cruising, sections where other boats produce wake, and access to a public sandy swim beach and park — ideal for swimming stops or shoreline breaks during a rental.

THE FIT

Small groups, anglers, and day trippers

With a maximum capacity for seven people (or 1,000 pounds), the 18ft Fisher is designed for small groups who want fishing, a swim beach, or relaxed cruising without the complexity of a larger boat.

What the day feels like

How the outing unfolds

Expect easy maneuvering with a 25 hp motor, the option to fish from stable seating, and opportunities to pull into the public sandy swim beach and park for a stretch ashore.
