I've been wanting to check out a drift boat. Our they useful on stillwater?

And can you motor them upriver?

They do alright on stillwater, but one wouldn't be my first choice. Mine had a motor board on it and I used it twice in the years I had the boat. They take a long shaft and because of the design they don't draft consistently, so you need water that is deep.

There are some made that have an opening back from the bow that puts the motor closer to center and will use a short shaft. Some of the Midwest models don't have the rocker that the west coast drifts do and they might do better with a motor.

Today's release is tomorrows gift to another fisherman.
