I just bought a used 2000 willie,cannot wait to learn the strokes myself!!!as I have never been in a driftboat.I picked up some good books on river flows etc...from R.E.I. as well as the driftboat strategies from amazon.com shoot I must have 100 bucks in books here, oh well I don't know anyone that drifts so will get info where I can and this summer when the overtime stops hopefully be hooking up with some of you guys that won't mind helping this rookie out. C U have fun with the new boats, stay safe
