Welcome online Brent. Good looking boat. Did you buy it here in Eugene?

Thanks Randy! I bought it from a guy out in Pleasant Hill. Nice site!

Nice Boat!!! I bet you paid a fortune for it!!

Hi Brent,

Good to meet you , so to speak!

Thanks for the compliments, your boat looks pretty nice too. Cant go wrong with a wood boat in the looks department though,even the old ones look cool to me.

Sounds like you kinda new to the whole driftboat thing huh? Well there's a lot to learn and to tell the truth I don't think you ever really stop learning unless you just run the same piece of water over and over again.

I started rowing in my wood boat about seven years ago too. It was fun learning in it, but now I use my Willie drifter for most of my fishing, and my rafts for day trips/camping on harder rivers. The wood boat is my summer showoff boat, the parade queen!

Ive got another ID on this board Mike D ( I am having sign in issues with it) so now I have two pages...anyways theres a few more pictures I posted there of all my boats on some of the rivers we run, check em out.

If you have any questions or want to float the Rogue sometime let me know.

Mike

I was just talking with Greg Hatten about the wood boat festival last night. I knew they had one out of state, but had no idea they had one in Oregon. I think I want to go, but would really only be interested as long as everyone took some kind of group float together. Hey its fun to talk boats, but these things are made to be used and to be right on the McKenzie like that would just be a waste.

We are heading out on a new years float down the wild section of the Rogue new years day, gonna be a little on the cool side, but to me as long as I'm on the river I'm a happy camper!

Heres something else to check out. Last month I took a trip down the Illinois with a very cool group of people, was a lot of fun, kinda scary, but still lots of fun. Here's a link to that trip with video at the bottom of our runs at Green Wall.
