    For a high-end wooden drift boat, trailer, and all accessories for $1,800.00 is a bargain.

    You might want to take a look at it.......a piece of art.

    Wooden drift boats are still very popular in Oregon and Washington.

    My old friend, Bruce Porter, said he bought that boat, with a new trailer and new cover, for $6,500 in 1998.

    He already had the oars and all other accessories.

    It is one of the top wooden drift boats, period.

    $1,800 is a bargain for all that.

    Bruce says it rows very well.
