Ya I'm thinking of building this winter also.I'll probably start out easy and build a small pram.

Montana boat builders as some neat stuff they also have plans.

Try Greg Tateman boats or Don Hills . Good looking boats.. You can also buy the materials from them.

When I lived in Edmonton, "Boat Craft" was just down the street from me. I don't know if they have any plans for drift boats, however my friend made a lake kayak that turned out really really nice.

Its a pretty horrible website, however it has the contact info:)

I have a home built driftboat that a friend and I built in 2001.

Before you start a project like this, ask yourself why you want to do it. If you're thinking it would be a neat winter project, believe me, if you do it right, it's a lot of work. If you're thinking it would be an inexpensive way to have a drift boat, they're like most other things, you get what you pay for. It cost us about $4000.00 without the trailer.

All that being said, I'm glad we built ours.

If you want to have a look at ours and do a little BS'ing, PM me and we'll hook up.

Later
