About Western Style McKenzie River Drift Boats
Western style drift boats, also known as McKenzie River drift boats, are the original, classic style, developed for wild river travel and fishing. With their extensive rocker and high sides, Western style drift boats are optimized for the wildest whitewater. They're intended for downstream drift fishing in fast moving water. The high rocker makes them ultra maneuverable in wild water where you only row to keep yourself pointed downstream. If you fish fast moving mountain rivers, rarely going ashore, and don't plan on going back upstream, pick a Western style drift boat.
Here's a bigger sized McKenzie River driftboat for those of you wanting a boat to take a gang of three or even four anglers out in a bigger river. It comes complete with optional well so you can hang a short shaft outboard of up to 7 1/2 horsepower to power upstream or make those long miles not so tiring.
