I am planning on building a stitch & glued drift boat next winter. I currently have an NRS Freedom which is 14 ft, with a 52" width, It is used mostly in Southwest Virginia, North Carolina Tennessee tailgaters and non dam shallow rivers. The areas are not more then class two mostly mild water.
I am having difficulty deciding on what length to build. Currently I am looking at the Cajune designs. The classic is 47" wide and the Guide is 55". I was thinking of the classic 12 but prefer it wider. Any experience with short drifts with this width would be helpful or is 12 too short.
thank you
