RIVER DANCER'S SMALLER VERSION

DESCRIPTION

WHY A NEW DRIFT BOAT DESIGN?

Dave Nicholls of Arrowhead Boats designed The Conchita from input by river fishing guides in Montana. These guides knew that wooden boats catch more fish, but were tired of living with the limitations and problems of currently available, wooden drift boats. These limitations and problems are:

To solve these problems, The River Dancer, has multiple chine's instead of the slab sides of current drift boats. With multiple chine's, you can increase the flair of the lowest side panel, without increasing the overall width of the boat.

This flair increases the boat’s buoyancy, without increasing its size. A more buoyant boat allows for a sharper entry at the stern and a narrower transom, without sacrificing load capacity.

In fact, a boat so designed will float higher than a slab sided boat with the same load. The narrow entry in the stern reduces the boat’s drag in the water. This makes it easier to row, while making it more maneuverable.

CSB made the design from glued lap strake to ‘stitch and glue’. This is an easier and stronger way to build boats. A few of River dancer's benefits over a traditional wooden drift boat are:
