    Yes, please do.

    I'm building one in my garage right now, in fact, so I'd love to see some discussion. I don't have lots to learn, I have everything to learn as they aren't exactly common here in Minnesota. I've never been in one, but here I am building one.

    Seemed like a good idea when we were talking about it in the bar.

    Yes, well the payoff will come when I'm on the recieving end of the envious gazes from you bank-bound Minnesota mortals, FC. Plus, I have it on good authority that the chicks really dig guys in drift boats, so an added bonus there I'm sure you'll agree. Or it will be an added bonus in about 2012 when we get this thing on the water . . .

    We've already had a good laugh about how long it will be before someone in MN sees the drift boat on the trailer and asks how we manage to backtroll with it, is it any good on Milleacs, etc.

    I put the first sheet of plywood on the boat's side last nigth. Another step forward and another lesson learned: You can never, never, never have enough clamps. No, really.

    So Rusty do you have specific questions, re drift boats? Not that I will be much help, my experience ends at watching others row them in the river.

    I think the better chick attracting transportation would be something like a Mercedes SL Convertible.

    More like a 2008 shark body vette or maybe a classic stingray
