For every angler, the concept of the right drift boat, or best drift boat, is one that matures over time. Our chosen rivers, and their specific water types, place demands upon hull size and type. Our fishing techniques create needs. And our desire for comfort creates wants. In the end, each discerning angler ends up with a drift boat that's a model of efficiency, easy to use, and as comfortable as a beloved easy chair. In almost all cases these boats are dramatically different, with one exception.
Todd Bell, a master craftsman, will transform your ideas into precisely welded aluminum solutions. These are the best drift boats in the industry because, unlike any other, it's custom built to your needs and constructed with our experience and attention to detail.
It's not about how many Smith Rock Boats we build today. It's about how many boats we build today are still on the water a decade from now. Sure, we pride ourselves on our custom nature, but there are a few areas in which a Smith Rock Riverboat is unwavering. First, we use only the finest raw materials available, meaning every boat bottom is constructed from 6061-T6 aluminum, unmatched in strength and durability. Our chine extrusion is made of the same material, for the exact same reasons. Second, all welds are full length and continuous. Certainly spot-welding saves time, but it also reduces quality. And perhaps most importantly, we understand the value of service.
Standard hull sizes are 16 foot by 54 inch bottom and the 18 foot by 60 inch bottom. Now let your imagination go to work. |
