I had a buddy that bought a drift boat for Ozark stream and tail-waters. He couldn't sell that tub for two years.  Hated it. 

I would Love to have one, they are great to fish out of....Just need someone to row the darn thing while I fish. Have a buddy in Libby, MT and another in Alaska who "love" to row and run a boat.... not me but sure enjoy fishing while they do.

The narrow and shallow riffles on most Ozark rivers are not ideal for maneuvering a drift boat. The rivers that are large enough are hell holes of recreational power boat traffic.  I would love to have one but I'm afraid it would only be used a few times a year.

The only way I would ever want a drift boat is if it came with a GPS controlled programmable automatic rowing machine.

They aren't a boat you want to own....unless you are a guide.  

I'd much rather be a client in a drifter than a client in a Jon boat.

A few years ago,  there was a resort owner that had one that people could purchase a membership to use.  Not sure if that option still exists.   I believe that they are still active on here.

That was Justin at Sunburst Ranch on the NFOW.

I figured I would let him reply if he was still offering it.  Though I really wasn't 100% sure it was him .

Haven't seen Justin around here much. I know it's his busy season, but it's been longer than that.
