drift boats
Angler's floating platform
Drift boats are flat-bottomed watercraft designed to navigate rivers, particularly for fishing.
The high, pointed bow and stern allow the boat to be rowed facing downstream while maintaining control in currents.
A guide rows from an elevated center seat while anglers cast from bow and stern: We floated the Madison in a drift boat, catching cutthroats all morning.
