I just ordered the same boat you were looking at. I get to pick mine up the end of the month!!!

I added a UHMW bottom, I'm told it is something like a plastic breadoard-like material which will keep the aluminum from sticking to rocks.

The hull is lifetime warranteed, even if it is punctured. I think the warranty may also be transferrable if you decide to see it but you better check. I upgraded the oars to be counter balanced.

Although I'm new to drift boating, I've had friend who owned them and they were very happy.

Give John Nolan at Hyde a call : (800) 444-4933
