1. The lightest drift boat is the easiest to row. Boulder Boat Works welded polymer hulls are half the weight (~170 lbs) of the hull of afiberglass boat (330 350 lbs) thanks to a superior manufacturing technology (which well discuss in just a moment)... Spend 10 minutes behind the oars of a Boulder Boat Works, and youll feel the difference in your shoulders. As pro guide Ryan Kelly says: I rowed a Boulder Boat Works one time and knew this was the boat for me...This will add years to my guide career. 2. Better handling and responsiveness means smarter fishing. The protruding chines the edges on bottom of the boat allow you to cut through the water in a way that a boat without a pronounced chine simply cant achieve. See, fiberglass boats are molded with no edge...like an old, detuned snow ski. Compare that to the sharp edges of a parabolic ski and youll understand why Boulder Boat Works handle better than anything on the water. Hands down the easiest boat to row on the river. Not to mention it is also the most durable. Joel Thompson 3. Durability means more time on the water, and savings on maintenance costs. Our boats draft up to 40% less water at the chine allowing us to float water that other drift boats simply cannot. Unlike heavy drift boats that use fiberglass construction, Boulder Boat Works uses technologically advanced materials and features a hull made of high-density hand welded polyethylene. Fiberglass breaks down and consistently requires maintenance. Polymer is much slicker on rocks... going up and and right over the top, whereas fiberglass sticks and requires time consuming and expensive repairs. Thats what allows Boulder Boat Works to offer a lifetime guarantee on our hulls. If your hull ever has a failure that results from normal use and not a car accident get your boat to our shop and we will take care of it no questions asked. With this boats toughness, I was able to fish in water conditions that the other guides could not. -Jacob Ott 4. More space means more comfort for your friends and fam
