Re: New drift boat almost done!
Gearing up for Valentines day as we speak. Got the wife a surpise visit to the day spa, massage, facial and cooking a gourmet dinner and movie up for when she gets home. I'm happy with my boat! Very excited.

Can't wait to take you out on it Mike, it's going to be a lot of fun. I'll row so you can pull plugs, I know that's your favorite.

Re: New drift boat almost done!
So ummm, when ya gonna hit the Chehalis?
I just got an extra 3 unpaid days off, sucks for my next paycheck, but I've suddenly found myself with a couple extra days to go find some
That is one sweet looking rig, would be more than happy to help you break it in. I'll even bring the pizza!

The Chehalis may just be where it's at. Those fish sure are having a tought time getting past the nets.

Re: New drift boat almost done!
I like the northwest green look to it, very nice.
Re: New drift boat almost done!
Yea, I really like how the colors turned out, I wanted the sides to have the diamond plate, but also had the color on it as well. They worked that out nicely for me. Just wait until I put my logo on it, it will look killer!Brat Bonker wrote:I like the northwest green look to it, very nice.

Re: New drift boat almost done!
I wish pizza was made of 20 dollar bills. Maybe if you win some kind of contest or something. I will be having a Breaking in the Boat special when I start booking trip come March, so that may be of interest to some of you folks. I'm packing up as we speak to make the drive down to White City to pick her up, it's a good 8 hour drive sans traffic, so I'm in for a long weekend. It'll be worth it though! Danny and I are drifting this week, we'll make sure to post some killer video of her in action!gfakkema wrote:Probably gonna cost a lot more than a few pizzas to get a ride in that beast.

Re: New drift boat almost done!
Real nice boat....enjoy!!!
Re: New drift boat almost done!
You guys have fun, and slime the decks. I have a feeling you two go way back as fishing friends. Hey guys, it would be interesting to hear feedback from each of you. If able to operate each others river boats.natetreat wrote: Danny and I are drifting this week, we'll make sure to post some killer video of her in action!
Nate's is all aluminum. Danny a fiberglass.
Re: New drift boat almost done!
Looks like a great setup and a beautiful boat.
You still questioning between the 16 foot or 17 foot boat lenght?
What sized oars did you get? Chuck likes the 10' 6"
Did you get the Legacy or the Guardian?

Re: New drift boat almost done!
It's the 16x61 gaurdian with the warrior interior. Went with the 10 6 lamis for oars. Running our first trip in the a.m. pics after.
Re: New drift boat almost done!
Bon Voyage
Re: New drift boat almost done!
Best of luck to ya! Lookin' forward to your pics. as always!
Re: New drift boat almost done!
Hope you remembered to call "Flo" at Geico, before launching. Having something as nice as that, would make for light sleeping. I'd always be wondering if someone was outside trying to TAKE it!.
Would be nice, if one of the options was a security system.
