I've been searching for a 16-17 foot drift boat that is newer and in decent shape for quite some time with very little luck. If you're looking to sell your drift boat or someone who is wanting to let me know.

Bigdog 2250 may have a FishRite 16' for sale. It looks and fishes great.
You would have to talk to him about it.

Try the Hyde boats web page and look under used boats. They are a very sweet boat and the guys have been very good to me!!! You also get a full warranty buying it from the factory. www.hydeboats.com

I have a 16x55 hyde.3 tray oarsman seat,front seat dry storage,heated front and oarsman,dry storage in the back,wired for a trolling motor,saywer oars,coat-it on the bottom with a galvanized trail.Oh yeah,it's a 2000 model,combo series....1/2 glass 1/2 alum.call me at 253-843-9510 after 4:00pm.$4200.00

It sounds like you have a fine boat. I was wondering if you could post a couple of photos.
Thanks.

Send me your e-mail address and I'll send you some pics,I don't know how to send pics to this site.linestretcher@hotmail.com

why you selling your Hyde linestretcher?

I got in a car wreck in november while towing a drift boat.The wreck totaled both the truck and boat.I was also injured in the accident,and rowing kills my lower back.it kills me to sell it but it also kills me to row it.I purposly bought the hyde knowing it rows easier but sitting in the same position while rowing is just to much.Hopfully I can row again but not in the near future.I haven't tried to sell it vaey hard,only this web site and the buy and sell.I will probably run it in the newspaper this weekend.

i am sorry to hear about that linestretcher!!! I recently bought an older Hyde boat without the cuved up stern and was courious if you had problems with yours. So far I love mine but its heavier than the new ones and I cant get a foot release anchor mount for but its super tough and the are super good to deal with! If I worked more than i fish I would buy your new Hyde but I dont so I am poor!
