The safety and comfort of the NWC Drift Boat

The "Yellowstone" Nord West Drifter


The unique design of the Nord West Drifter with her huge dry storage capacity of 26 cubic feet and her measurement of 81" beam, 58" bottom, 23" height at oar lock, 15.3 ft centerline overall gives the appearance of a large boat, but really weights only 325 lbs.

The Nord West Drifter has been designed with both safety and comfort in mind. Although it is impossible to design a unique and perfect boat for everyone, part of the design of the Nord West Drifter included the safety of young children on board. It also addresses the main complaint of guides throughout the North West - the lack of dry storage on existing boats on the market.

The fact that it needs only six inches of water with three people on board, combined with the stiffness of the hull makes it very easy to row. The normal side design has been chosen for safety reasons, in opposition to a low side profile judged to be unsafe on some rivers.

The Nord West Drifter is built using proven racing construction techniques, high tech materials and hand lay up methods - which is the only way to keep track of the thickness and maintain a weight of 325 lbs. Retail $7995
