very cool, are you going to coat that thing in fiberglass or keep it all wood?

taking it out in the spring time for the first time......maybe try the lower sac, normally pretty darn good that time of year and a rather relatively safe place to take her for a test run.  As far as the fall river goes, i think most use flat-bottoms with outboards as opposed to drift boats.

Hey drifter,
this boat is not only used as a driftboat but you can also put a long shaft motor on it. This will allow me to not only hit up the rivers but also in bigger lakes and i might take it on the delta and do some sturgeon and striper fishing

thats awesome, striper fishing on the fly is a cool thing......You could also take it on the feather next spring below the shang hai bend rapids, put in around boyds pump and head up below the rapids (any-time between late march to mid may is pretty good for some large striper)
