I have a 1996 Hyde high side. What are some cool ways I might trick it out?
I would like to put a new winch on my trailer for my 1996 Hyde boat. I am having shoulder issues so I want a more powerful one, but do not want to buy an electric.
Any suggestions?
Every drift boat company offers a warranty, I would be more interested in buying a boat that you don't have to use it!I like the 100 year warranty.
True that, but it really helps in re-sale knowing that they will replace parts on a 50 year old boat (assuming the warranty is transferable).Every drift boat company offers a warranty, I would be more interested in buying a boat that you don't have to use it!
Unless the boat company is right down the road, any repair will be a major pain in the arse!
The warranty is only valid to manufacturers defects AND only pertains to damage that you completely break through the hull, they use so much glass "adding weight" that you are virtually never gonna bust all the way through, but you can still destroy the chine and need repairs... which you have to pay for...True that, but it really helps in re-sale knowing that they will replace parts on a 50 year old boat (assuming the warranty is transferable).
Kind of like my Eddie Bauer jackets that eventually loose their water penetration resistance, and I get a brand new jacket from them every 10 years
Dam fine-print
Amen to that!!!! When I bought my new Clacka Eddy this spring I upgraded the oars from the Cataract oars to the Sawyer wood oars with the Kevlar (or whatever it is) coating. Boy do I love those oars.At the end of the day, you should buy a drift boat based on how it rows, not marketing BS...
Most people have junk oars and will never truly know how well their boat can handle, used to blow my mind someone would drop 8 grand on a new boat and to save a couple hundred bucks would go with anything other than the best oars... LOL
If you ever feel froggy, have the rope removed, and switch them over to run the Pro-Loks style oar-locks...Amen to that!!!!

As a passenger in the boat and not a rower i dont understand the differences between good oars and bad. Care to elaborate anyone?Amen to that!!!!

Mostly it has to do with weight and where the weight is....As a passenger in the boat and not a rower i dont understand the differences between good oars and bad. Care to elaborate anyone?
