New Ride




I finally decided to upgrade my watercraft fleet this summer. A 2009 ClackaCraft 16 LP.

This model is Sage/Charcoal/Blue and also has the MegaBox option adding a double size storage box up front. This extra large gear box allows 2 seats up front on sliding tracks.

What can I say about this boat. It is awesome. Very comfortable and very stable.

A couple of initial upgrades were adding a kicker motor, a trailerable cover and altering the anchor system.


An '09 Mercury 6hp Longshaft motor. You can expect about 7.5 mph max out this motor.
Very effective for moving back up river or short runs on lakes and bays.


The cover is great for travel and fits very nice. Also works well for outdoor storage.


By adding the moveable pulley and doubling the rope, you gain additional leverage.
This makes hauling the anchor up a bit easier. The only downside is that you double the length of rope needed to drop anchor.

Check back later for news posts covering some of the features of the drifter.
