Drift Boat Kits: 17 1/ 2' x 54" Drift Boat Kit The 17 1/2-foot wide bottom (54") drift boat has become quite popular. It was designed for ease of operation under the heavier loading conditions found in typical guide applications. Though the boat weighs slightly over 300 lb., its large bottom area allows it to be one of our highest floating boats. This quality is very useful for carrying that third person (beside yourself). The smooth easy lines of its hull and the boat's longer hull length also gives it superior holding and tracking ability. Many experienced guides tell us that this boat is the best rowing boat they have ever rowed. (Rowing a boat full of fishing clients all day every day would make an oarsman appreciate its finer handling qualities.) Some customers report such good holding characteristics as "almost needing to row the boat down river". If you decide to row this boat, we recommend 9' oars. The boat to the right is made from fir marine plywood.

After years of listening to tearful customers who couldn't see themselves content with the 16' (which they thought too small) or the 17 1/2' (which they thought too large), we designed an ideal in- between boat that would suit even the most indecisive fishermen. It is large enough for those long river trips that require extra carrying capacity, yet not too large a boat to go for a day trip with your best fishing buddy. Take your wife and kids!! In any event, this new boat is nipping at the heels of the 16' for popularity even before appearing in our brochure! Nine foot oars work the best for this boat.

As an all around fishing boat on 90% of the boatable, fishable rivers, it is the most popular craft we sell. Likewise, if you can't decide on which boat to buy, this one is the safest bet. Weighing in at 240 lb., this boat has to be trailered. We recommend for this boat 8 1/2' oars. The boat to the right is made from fir marine plywood.

It used to be our smallest "McKenzie" style drift boat. Like the two 12-footers, this model is a light, portable boat with adjustable seats, but it also offers some of the advantages of a larger drift boat. It features a knee brace and fly line deck in front, is generally more white water capable than the shorter boats, has more carrying capacity, and is the largest boat that will fit in the bed of a full-sized pickup The 14-foot McKenzie is best used as a two-person boat. It is also the best of the drift boats if weight is an important consideration. It weighs about 200lbs. If you usually fish with one partner, you fish some rivers with difficult access, and you want the "McKenzie style", this is your boat. If you are trying to decide between a 14-footer and a 16-foot model, have a growing family, or a cabin full of prospective fishing buddies, don't buy this size. You will outgrow it. If you plan to trailer a boat, go for the bigger model--unless, again, you have only one fishing buddy and know you want a 14-foot drift boat. Eight foot oars seem to work the best for this model.

There is a stretch of the McKenzie that is very close to the shop and a very short run in a drift boat. It is also very productive for our local strain of native redside trout. After work, I have often thought it would be nice to have a small boat to fish that stretch of water - a "low impact" boat which, like the small prams, didn't require trailer, and which could be easily dragged and launched over the bank by oneself. Now, I could have built one of the prams, but I've had several of those, so that's no fun! Why not build a 12' boat, but in the more appealing McKenzie driftboat style? So I did! I am glad I did because it has turned out to be a great boat! Remember, though, that while this boat can be great, it does have limited use and unlike the 14', it should be put more in the class of the prams than the bigger driftboats when considering it for use in various conditions. Seven and a half foot oars work for this boat. The boat to the right is made from fir marine plywood.
