Guy's when we finally put this puppy in the water I will make sure to post the results.

FYI...I myself will not be on the oars, one more physically fit than I will be doing the honors. He is also paying close attention to all the info being posted. We may also enlist the help of an experienced oarsmen on that particular river, as has been suggested. When the final plans have been completed I will let you all know.

Here's a true story concerning a driftboat: In 1995 I purchased a brand spanking new Alumaweld 17' Classic, beautiful thing. That year if you recall we had a real high water season... couldn't even bank fish. Every time we wanted to try this thing out the rivers were running high. On or about the 4th month of not using this boat my neighbor started asking me how my "planter" was doing? Refering to the DB. To make a long story short, after about three months of putting up with this, I hauled her down to Sande's and put it up for sale. Never used the boat beathead True Story.
