I needed to do some work to my drift boat after a few years some serious abuse
she has taken a beating so this year was time to give her some much needed TLC

I coated the bottom with new bottom coat to create less drag in the water. Applied 2 part primer and then painted boat
Harbour Chandler has been a big help in this process Not just for selling me the product but the knowledge of the products and how to use them was excellent. They knew what to use and how to use it making my project go smoothly.
This process was not as costly so anyone needing to do some work to their drift boats. I recommend that you go talk to them and they will set you in the right directing. I spoke with Matt there for all my chemicals and directions or tips to best apply.
I forgot to mention i had two good fishing buddies that helped out thanks boys :)
here are a few pics

Looking Good Buddy! :mrgreen:

Probably be chasing you down the local flow this season with either the drift rig or the pontoon!

Cheers,

this is a willy's replica very close to the specifications of a factory

she is a nice wide drift boat that isnt tippy even when two guys lean to one side.
Takes a beating and performs well in high water. been in a couple other drift boats that were not as stable
Last year went from wood oars to counter balanced glass oars 10footers
major comfort on the sticks

I am in the progress on working on heated seats- Sherm is gettingto be high maintenance :roll:

Hey TL it will be $800 a trip + prime rib roast as you requested :lol:



Thanks Nog I need more info to do that drift. email me with some ideas.
