Boulder Boat Works - The Next Evolution of Drift Boats
|
|
|||||||||||||
| Boulder Boat Works, Inc. is the first to pioneer the use of HDPE in drift boat construction. Boulder Boat Works’ hulls are made from a special Marine Grade, U.V. protected, High-Density, Polyethylene polymer (HDPE for short). We have combined the most innovative hull material (HDPE) with classic drift boat designs to produce the world’s first series of polymer hulled drift boats. Our polymer drift boats solve most, if not all, of the problems associated with fiberglass, aluminum and wooden drift boat hulls. They are easily the strongest drift boat hulls on the market and the lowest maintenance hulls money can buy. In addition to those major points, they are also extremely ‘slippery’ boats both through the water and, more importantly, they slide off rocks easily. They are quiet in the water, warm on cold days, and U.V. protected for life. The HDPE material is solid color throughout which means there are no gel coats to repair, no chips to retouch, no painting or varnishing for the life of the boat. They also come with a lifetime guarantee against bottom punctures or hull leaks. Boulder Boat Works’ polymer drift boats have as many advantages for the Pro Guide/Outfitter as they do for the first-time drift boat owner. Both will appreciate all of the advantages of our Boulder Boat Works’ polymer hull. The Outfitter will appreciate the design, performance and low hull maintenance of these boats. The first-time owner will appreciate the strength and durability of the hull, especially in the first year on the river. Our ability to customize each drift boat to suit the individual is appreciated by all. We have combined the latest technology in our hulls with classic wooden details and old world craftsmanship to produce a truly unique drift boat. These drift boats are rewriting the rule books for guides, outfitters and weekend warriors. No longer will you have to pump up the old raft in the middle of summer just to fish your favorite river because Boulder Boat Works’ hulls don’t have the same limitations as other drift boat hulls have. Low water? So what! Take the drift boat. It’s polymer! You can’t hurt it! When everyone else is in a raft because of the low water, you’ll be riding in high style and comfort in your Boulder Boat Works‘ drift boat. These drift boats are the strongest, toughest, lowest maintenance drift boats on the market today. They are available in many different interior configurations, including full one-of-a-kind custom packages. So whether you choose one of our standard models or a full blown custom boat, it all adds up to the same result; the strongest, most innovative, and beautiful drift boat available today. Boulder Boat Works’ hull is made from a U.V. protected, Marine Grade, High-Density, Polyethylene (HDPE). This is a high impact, flexible material that will withstand an enormous amount of abuse. Wood, aluminum, and fiberglass are materials that are rigid and thus suffer significant damage upon impact. Additionally and very important is the ‘slippery’ nature of this polymer (much like Teflon). These boats literally slide off the rocks. Wood, aluminum, and fiberglass all ‘gag’ on the rocks as the coefficient of friction dramatically increases with impact. Our material is quiet on the water and comfortable to the touch. There is no maintenance. Cleaning is easy with ordinary products. In fact, wiping down the boat with simply water removes 99% of the dirt. Following the lead of modern, high performance kayaks (which use a similar polyethylene material), Boulder Boat Works’ hulls have an especially hard chine. When used with proper rowing techniques, this feature dramatically improves the spin rate. An increased ferry angle is also possible. "Setting" the downstream chine creates a keel effect driving the boat across the river. Both of these moves are critical to precise, professional drift boat maneuvering.
