I am not much of a poster here but built a spira 16' midwestern drift boat 3 years ago and could not have done it without lurking around this site. It has been a great boat for Ny rivers for fishing steelhead. I'll try to post a photo. At this point I am going to build a smaller boat to fish Vermont streams (where i live) I am undecided on Dave Z's mini ,Don Hills mini or a Trapper. Most of this fishing will be On skinny water (class two or so) with limited acess. boat will often have to be dragged to and from rivers and also dragged over skinny spots. Are any of you out there fishing these boats? How do you like them? Any input would be appreciated. Thanks
