Wood boat builders-Show us some pics.
« on: April 05, 2008, 07:36:29 PM »
I know there are least two of you  on here that have built a wood drift boat or own one. How bout posting some pictures of your river ride?
Yesterday, I was at the bottom. I was at the bottom of a valley, in the river. Then my eyes hiked up the mountains to the snow capped peaks. I thought, "When I am at this lowest place I can be, standing in a river, everything is looking up."

Sweet.

Don't worry about the delay, I'm just thankful you posted them. I see you were busy collecting tying materials.

Is that a Montana Boat Builders plan?

Awesome Boat Brandon!!!  Damn!
Wherever the standard of freedom and Independence has been or shall be unfurled, there will her heart, her benedictions and her prayers be.

But she goes not abroad, in search of monsters to destroy.

She is the well-wisher to the freedom and independence of all.

She is the champion and vindicator only of her own.

First driftboat I fished out of! Business is way off. I've been sending out resumes. Glad to see ya on here, we'll have to fish when the river decides to cooperate.

Brandon, are you still planning on building another one?

Fished out of that boat quite a few times and it is awesome.  And its tough.  It's also been know to splash a turd in the face when he crowds us (only when I'm rowin').  If you want to build one, get ahold of Driftwood1, dude knows his sh!t.  Glad to see that new shotgun is sighted in B. ;)
