Ill start of with first and foremost I have not seen these in person yet. Just sharing for a family member.
The individual that built this is probably one of the best hobby carpenters I have ever seen and being in construction for the last 18 years with some of it spent in a custom cabinet shop in Idaho Falls, I have seen a few. All of his work is incredible so I am doubting these boats are any different. They are currently located in Texas and he is planning on hauling them to Rexburg as there is a lot better market for these in Idaho than Texas. Are they a new Claker or Hyde? Nope but they also don’t carry a $6k price tag either.
If you’re interested contact him through craiglist for more photos.
Here are the links. If I was back in Idaho instead of Utah for the next few years I would be taking one of these off his hands.
Done… I actually live down in the Gunnison Valley right now and didn’t post it in Utah cause I wasn’t coming up with any river here in UT where I have really seen drift boats used.
Funny I looked at those last night. Very nice work.

Windriver if I recall you coach at Madison? The guy who is selling them’s sister is the AP Calculus teacher up there so if you know anyone looking she would be a good resource to ask questions to.
