I'm sure before this thread is over you'll have all the sleds suggested to ya.

Sidedrifting or Boondogging is my favorite fishery of all. I've ran all sleds from Alumaweld 20-24 ft, Willie 20ft, North River 20ft, Thor Built 20-22ft, and Koffler 20-21ft.

My first pick is the boat I own a 20ft Koffler with a 4 degree front and tunnel bottom, hands down there is not another boat out there that tracks as good as it does. The same boat in a longer length works just as good if not better but you in low water conditions (narrower rivers) you have less room for a 22 or 24' boat and less room for error. A close second is the Thor Built, it's built by one of the best boondoggers Mike Sexton. Presentation is an extreme key to boondogging success and there should be no reason to have to fight the boat all day to keep it tracking properly. One of the major things you fight in the Alumaweld, Willie and North River is the stability. You constantly have to make sure the boat is in balance or they will tend to drag one way or another, it will drive you nuts.

All the same goes for plugging or hover fishing. It's extremely important to not have a boat that you have to fight all day long to stay on line with your presentation...

If you choose to go with Koffler or Thor Built let me know as I know both owners extremely well and can make sure you are set up right.
