Yeah. I want the flexibility to fish shallow water, the McKenzie in the fall gets pretty low. I noticed in March when I first started lookin' at 'em there were a lot more listed, maybe the end of the year when summer finally winds down there might be more listed. I'm in no hurry though, it's probably going to be another two months, but I was lookin' for input before.if your fishing deeper water it doesn't matter if it's glass or not. shallow water is where it matters.
Your lucky, that side of the state has lots of options on Craigs list..... not so much over here
good luck in your search.
fiberglass driftboats are lighter than aluminum??? I dont think so, and the other thing thats better about aluminum is it doesn't hurt to leave them sitting out side in the weather. maybe in california thats not a big deal, but over time in northwest Oregon, a fiberglass boat will deteriorate in the sun and rain. But I definitely agree with warmer, quieter, no dents, if you could store inside out of the weather, maybe a better choice.
if your going to float from stayton to the willamette, dont forget a tent and sleeping bags. that would cover about 5 drifts. the greens bridge to jefferson drift is a nice beginners drift though. good luck on getting the drifter, and make sure you get a lot of help on your first few, the river can be very unforgiving.
