Pulled the trigger
« on: March 01, 2011, 06:39:04 PM »
Well we pulled the trigger and bought a new drifter, my buddy and myself have had the same old boat for almost 15 years and decided it was time for a upgrade so after a short 900 mile drive to white city, Oregon here's the new boat.

Be honest, now--it was the big graphic on the side that got you.

That door on the starboard side reminds me of those geriatric bathtubs you see advertised.  By the looks of the boat, by the time you get done paying for it, you might need an "old people door".  :fishin:

Just jerking your chain.  Nice looking boat!

Good luck on the Rhonde.  Hope all this rain and wet snow doesn't muddy the water for you.  Take pictures!

I am curious also, only thing I can think of is hooking the rope there in fast water with the anchor so it rides higher in the water  :dunno:

Its purely a different design for a bow line and trailer winch. Just a different look. But man Id hate to have it sticking out there on a river like the Duc or Calawah! Nice Cadillac though!

That is a beautiful drift boat, set up to the max.  Where did you buy the front bra cover or was it included?
