Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Drift Boat, Pontoon or Raft?

Connor, yes -- the frame is DIY.  I was inspired by this boat I came across, which uses NRS frame parts: http://www.mountainbuzz.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=4447&d=1332370863

My frame uses aluminum speed rail fittings (with set screws), 16 gauge steel fence post, 3/4" plywood, and tractor seats.  I became good friends with the store manager at Ace Hardware.  Aire sells a similar oar frame for the Traveler canoe called the "Traveler Rowing Frame," but it just has bench seats.

JT - That aire canoe looks awesome.  That's a cool mini frame, did you DIY that?  I'm really, really digging it.

Boulder boatworks makes a high density poly driftboat that can take rock strikes. It is a traditional design so is not rated for high hp motors but you can run a 2 to 5 hp.   Butch Murphy guides out of one and I think Matt Miles may drive one as well.

Aire inflatable kayaks are great (PVC outer shell with urethane bladders).  I run a 15' Aire Traveler inflatable canoe with an oar frame; it's a great little boat for 2 people.

Anyone have any experience with inflatable kayaks?
