Who Am I?

I design and build boats, mostly for use in the local rivers but I’ve shipped boats all over the world.

I worked from scratch to produce my own design and after many years of testing, I’ve developed a drift boat style that is very simple and strong.

My specialty is mostly river designs like the popular Drift Boat and the recently popular Skiff. There are several variations available in both models, from genuine stripped hulls to plywood to full out composite. In each model, there are endless options to set the boat up to suit your needs.

I build these boats to be extremely durable, with safety as my top priority. All boats are USCG compliant.

I’m always looking to expand my designs and if you have an idea, run it by me.
