Have been checking FS out for a few months now & look forward to new FS email every day. After 2 retirements, I need to turn my full attention to what I enjoy most - fishing and tall tales. My recently completed drift boat is crying to get wet. Cheers to all.

Have you had your boat in the water yet. It will row a little harder than an Aluminum so try it our in less current at first. I owned one of those years ago, should have stuck an electric trolling motor on it.

FF: Maiden voyage last fall in the Columbia R. Once since then on a nearby reservoir. Boat only weighs about 325 lbs, is quieter than aluminum or glass, and most importantly is the only type I could build in my garage.

I have a long shaft Mercury 4 HP on the transom with small external tank. Pushes it just fine.

Thanks for asking.
