New drift boat ready to rock.

Another boat picture. From yesterday, they were about to put the Vaccuum Sealed UHMW Bottom on when they sent this one.

The Pavati is a fantastic boat.

The UHMW is 1/8 th inch thick with makes it much lighter then the other who attach an entier 1/2 inch thick material. Some bolt it on besides glue.

I think that 1/8 would last one a life time.

Very nice boat...

[natetreat]

Well the boat is DONE. I'm going to have pictures tomorrow, picking it up on Monday.

We're going to shoot a video on it in the next few weeks so you'll have plenty of eye candy! As for which drift I'll do first, I've been itching to do the Chehalis, that's where the fish are. I'm going to hit the Wynoochee and the Queets after that, and then I'll be running trips on it once I've broken her in, so it will be your turn to reel some fish in!

Really looking forward to seeing the finished product, also really wanna fish out of it. Are you still gonna guide from the banks? or are you doing predominantly boat trips once it's finished?

[natetreat]

I'm going to do both. As a bank instructor I've found that there isn't a lot of good guides than run these kind of trips. Plus there are some areas that I fish that have awesome fishing that the boaters can't get to.

Like anything else, shiny and new. Nate, have you prepared yourself for the first scratch? Fish blood washes off. Scratches, not so much.

[natetreat]

Hahahaha. It's going to get used, that's how it goes. I don't care about shiny, I care about function.

That upper queets road is still closed so if you want to do the upper drift you gotta drive around the south road and thats about a hour turn around... Bring your own chase rig Fred won't do that shuttle.

[natetreat]

Yea, I know, I wish they'd put that road back together. But it's a sweet drift and worth the trouble. I'm on pins and needles.

Sounds like good times ahead!

[natetreat]

As promised, pics of the finished product. This thing is gorgeous!

[natetreat]

The long wait is finally over, and I have a sneaking suspicion that is is TOTALLY worth it. Cannot wait for my first drift.

[sickbayer]

Its superb looking boat mate, like everything else you get what you pay for!

[TroutSnipr]

Is it just me that's not seeing the pics here?

[bothellfisher]
