I've been a drift boat fisherman for years and have had several opportunities to fish from sleds in some of the bigger rivers. Now I guess it’s time to buy one and I was wondering if there is any real difference in hull design.

I have looked at Alumaweld Super V, North River Delta V, and Boulton. I’m interested in 18- 19 ft with maybe a 175 hp SportJet. By far the Alumaweld is the best buy but I don’t like the nose. The North River and Boulton are nice but I wanted to hear if you have had any experience with these manufacturers or maybe could suggest another manufacture to look at.

Thanks.

PS Don’t worry, you won’t see me above Black Creek on the Nooch.
