This craft started out life as a “Coastal Water Express” but I’ve made some modifications. The end result is that it is now a “McKenzie Drifter” with thinner pontoons. I’ve taken this craft on the South Llano River Float trip a few times, and have used it in local ponds and rivers. The comfort level is amazing, and the control is easy. Rated for 500 pounds of anglers and gear.
The only things not included are life jackets and flippers. Located in Katy, Tx.
