Title: WTB: Drift Boat (2-3 person)
Post by: Raacerx on February 20, 2024, 07:39:05 PM

Selling the kayak to help fund a drift boat.  Anyone got one used laying around?  Pontoon?  Inflatable?  Metal hull?  Bare, frameless, all the bells and whistles, let me know if you got something. 

Got hooked on spey casting last year and need to step up my steelhead game. 

$5k max.

Rumor is if you drive up north once season closes will see lots for sale. Cheers

Haven't really noticed it too much, at least up in WA and OR where I've been looking.  Probably depends on how good of a season!  Any particular place to look?  Craigslist and FB market are pretty expensive. 

I will also amend my WTB with a cap of $5,000.  Trailer would be sweet.

You can also try calling his fly shop in Sacramento or The Fly Shop in Redding.

I have a 12' fiberglass mini-drifter.  Seats 2.  Solid hull.  Needs attention, like new seats, oars, and perhaps some paint if that's important to you.  I could let it go fairly cheap.  Send me a PM if interested.
