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

I've heard of rowing standing up....but isn't the boat supposed to somewhat horizontal?

hehe, he propably didn't read the manual


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:
