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.

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.

Hmmm, this is a really good idea that I never would have considered. Thanks for the input!
