Hi, I'm looking for a good home for my 2004 RO 16 foot Guide Model Drift Boat (visit: http://www.rodriftboats.com). The boat was bought new in February of 2004. I'm selling this as a package with the following: dry storage under front angler seat, front casting deck with a dry storage compartment, fully adjustable rowers bench with lockable latched dry storage compartments, foot release anchor system, rowers foot brace, removable rear casting brace with cup holders, rear storage seat, recessed and staggered rod storage, quick release seats (they lift up and out), 9' carlisle oars, tie down strap, 30 lb chain anchor, anchor Rope, 2004 deluxe trailer complete with double roller bar and side rollers, with like new tires, rower, front and back angler cup holders, foam fly patches at rowers bench, forward casting deck and back casting deck, as well as 2 drain plugs. This boat has been well cared for and garaged for most of its' life. It's in great condition! It has 120+ guide days on it, a few scratches and chime dings, but is still in great condition. I'm asking $5150 OBO. The boat needs to be picked up here in Ellensburg, Washington. Shoot me an email at david@dreamflyfishing.com or call 509-962-5523. Tell your buddies about this boat and let's get it sold. I hope to save my penny's between now and than to buy a new 2006 RO boat.

Hello all,
I have an open date this Saturday (the 25th). If anyone would like to row the boat or check it out on a quick float down the YAK, just let me know. To fully appreciate a RO, you need to fish out of one. I'd entertain any emails of interest from perspective buyers. I am not rock solid on the price, but it's a good starting point.

$3,500 max!! just sold 1 18ft willie loaded with outboard for $4,000

viking warrior,
If you're interested in RO driftboats give me a call or shoot me an email. I'm confident we can get you into an older RO in the price range your working with.

I’ve been a sales rep. for RO for 2+ years now and have a good hold on what drifters are going for. I’m asking $5150 obo for my boat, and will not consider taking $3500 to $4000 for it. If you find a 2004 Clacka or Hyde or RO (major fly fishing guide boats) for that matter in great condition that’s selling for 3500 to 4 grande, than holy cow, jump on it, that’s a good deal! If you’d like to test drive the boat we can arrange that. It would be nice to meet you either on the phone or in person.

I know what it’s like to be sitting there trying to figure out which boat to buy. First things first I’ve found that RO is my brande, so as advise, find the specific boat you want and than search like crazy until you find a good fit for your needs financially. If we can make my 2004 drifter work for you than that’s great for both of us. I’ll list a few good links that have helped me.

I hope some of this information is useful, let’s keep in touch and good luck.

Seems high "$5150". Used boats at dealers with a warranty well may sell near that price but a used boat from a from a private party ?

Good luck

Grey Hair,
5150$ is a good starting point. It's my asking price. I'd love to sell it for that, but I'll consider offers close to it. I'm open to the "or best offer" option of sales.
Make me an offer and let me know if you would like to try the boat out on a test float.

Sorry not interetesd any longer - I just scored on a Fish Rite guide supreme with trailer - boat has seen very little use $2k

The boat is still available. I've had a few biters, but no takers. The price has been reduced to $4950.
