Look at dory designs. Drift boats are just dorys with more rocker.

hehe, he propably didn't read the manual :D


It looks like so much fun to me. Curiously, those life guard-dories are double bottomed, and just about where his feet are, there are huge drain-holes in both sides.

Ah, finally - it only took me two hours or so ...

I found my favourite among them all, turns out they do plans and kits too.

They are so well finished, that you simply have to take a look:
