Eric, with whom I boated when I launched Great Falls brought his Don Hill-designed drifter. <br/>My friend Brian brought his little 13' boat he built 10 years ago; I don't recall the design. He built it when his kids were small and his budget wouldn't afford a raft, and has loved it more and more through the years.
