I have a 16' long drift boat, which includes;
- Steel trailer with fullsize wheels, bearing buddies, and 100' of cable in a heavy duty winch.
- 30lb anchor
- Sawyer composite oars w/ spare wood oar
- 2-rod holders

This boat has the width of a 14' boat, so it rows very easy and is very manuverable. When I bought it I thought it was a Lavro because of the bench seats. Turns out the boat was a kit boat and the owner had bench seats put in at Lavro. I found all of this out when I took it to Ron (owner of Lavro)in Monroe, he then gave me the history of the boat. I then left the boat with Ron, where they reinforced the hull by laying 13 layers of woven glass in the chine(corners), laying in two floors of woven glass, and installing an adjustable foot brace. Ron assured me that this boat is as bulletproof as any Lavro.

I have drifted it on the Queets, SolDuc, Clearwater, Skykomish, Sauk, Quinault, and the Deschutes with no problems.

I have almost $3000.00 into this boat, I want to get a larger boat, everything will go for $1200.00
