Slide rite drift boat?
« on: June 30, 2017, 06:54:28 AM »
Been poking around looking at drift boats. Dad came across a Slide rite. Never heard of them before. Anyone have any experience with them? Good or bad? Might try and snatch it up if the price is right

They are pretty nice and track a lot better than a Lavro If you really want an awesome boat look at Clackacraft.  Been fishing out of one for 7 years and absolutely LOVE it.  Fished pretty skinny water last weekend and didn't have to get out and drag while every aluminum and heavier fiberglass boat did.  Gotta love the flex plus the bottom is guaranteed for life.   :twocents:

Slide Rites are good boats. As PolarBear stated, they track really well. I've ridden in a couple and enjoyed it. I personally run a Hyde, and have for a long time. I think they track about as well because of the square chines. Depends on what your preferred technique will be as to the optimum boat. In general though, I don't think you could go wrong with any of the reputable brands, or that Slide Rite.
I hunt, therefore I am.... I fish, therefore I lie.
