Vessel description

McKenzie style Drift Boat made from African Mahogany (Sapelle) and Alaskan Yellow Cedar. Matching custom oars by Sawyer.
The boat was finished in the spring of 2006 after approximately 600 hours of work. It spends weekends and summer evenings on the McKenzie and Willamette Rivers out of Eugene, OR (mostly class II's and III's) pursuing Trout and Steelhead. In October, it will be on the Wild and Scenic section of the Rogue River in Southern Oregon in pursuit of the "half-pounders" and Summer Steelhead.
