I am a retired school superintendent, married 40 years. Earlier in life, a licensed guide/master of certified passenger vessels fishing for ocean salmon and commercial crab fisherman. Now I want to get back on the river and begin drift fishing again.
Hey Kenny,
A high side boat is one that has sides that are about three inches higher than a standard drift boat. Sometimes these are called 'guide model'.

Hey Kenny,
Sorry it took so long to get back to you, I had to go to Portland this weekend.
The sides of this boat were cut at 32" high at the stem and 21" high at the transom, so you can't get two sides from two 4x8 sheets. If you were able to then you have built a standard boat (probably in the neighborhood of 29" stem & 19" transom). Hope this helps.

Hey Kenny,
I was over in your neck of the woods this weekend fishing for Salmon with flyrods. Elk on Saturday and Sixes on Sunday... fishing wasn't great but the scenery was!! Water was pretty "skinny".
