Rod, Jim & Dean-
Thanks for your replies and comments. I think the url
is right, maybe try leaving off the "html" part. The
few pictures and lack of info on the website kind of
has me wondering, too. They did tell me in an email
they are in the process of printing a brochure they
hope to have ready next month.
As far as wood drift boats, I've seen quite a few on
the Deschutes and other rivers here in Oregon, of
course, these were full size with lots of freeboard
and pretty thick planking and bracing. The pictures on
the site of what they call "boisterous" water looks
like about Class-II, maybe.
Anyway, thanks for the replies. Still hoping to hear
from somone who has one or has actually seen one and
can comment on things like workmanship, stability,
durability, handling, and so on.
Take care and good fishing.

The River-
You passers-by, who share my journey,
You move and change,I move and am the same;
You move and are gone, I move and remain.
