Aiptasia Posted June 8, 2016 Posted June 8, 2016 Hi everyone, I mostly lurk around this forum, which I appreciate because there is some great information (thank you!). This said, I was wondering if anyone knows where I would be able to rent a drift boat from? I saw some adds on Kijiji but they never returned my e-mails. I'm thinking about buying maybe next season and in the meantime want to get out without hiring a guide. Quote
WyomingGeorge Posted June 8, 2016 Posted June 8, 2016 I wanted to do the same thing a decade or so back before I bought my Clackacraft, but found it very hard and/or expensive to find anything around Calgary. I ended up renting driftboats (and confirming that I wanted one) down on the Missouri River at Craig, on the Bighorn River at Ft. Smith and on the North Platte River near Casper. They're typically around US$100-$120 per day, shuttle included, which considering shuttles alone on the Bow start at $60, always seemed like a pretty good deal to me. The nice thing is that down there you can gain exposure to different sizes and models of drift boat. 1 Quote
ÜberFly Posted June 8, 2016 Posted June 8, 2016 Too funny... The guy that is renting his "Hyde" on Kijiji, actually has a Clacka in the photo!! Quote
