Key Features:

Experience – Alumaweld innovated the welded aluminum drift boat in 1971 and continues to set the standards that drift boats are measured by.

“Signature Touches” – customize your Drift Boat easily with Alumaweld’s complete options list.

Brand Identity – When you’re ready to sell your resale value will be greater and the sale will be faster with the good name of Alumaweld backing your boat. That means your cost of ownership is lower with Alumaweld.

Construction – continuous welds in all critical stress areas, slotted gunnel, bow, and chine extrusions for uncompromised strength and construction consistency.

Adjustable Seating & Oarblocks – You’ll enjoy complete adjustment of the rowing and passenger seats and oarblocks enabling proper balance and trim for optimal rowing ease, comfort and power.

Legendary Bottom Design – In any drift boat the key to a boat that rows exceptionally well is in how the bottom is configured. Alumaweld’s bottom designs are the product of decades of building and rowing experience. The “classic” bottom rocker is a little more acute, that is, there’s more bottom rocker in this boat than the Pro Guide series. The additional bottom rocker aids in turning the boat more quickly through tight turns and rapids. The Pro Guide model has a larger “footprint” which handles heavier loads better. It’s all about bottom design and Alumaweld has been a leader since the original aluminum drift boat was built by Alumaweld in the early 70’s.
