Our Guide model plans and new Kingfisher kits contain
over 90 pages of step by step instructions, photos and drawings. This
is a book on building the best driftboat out
there. Here's what some customers have to say:
"I
want to thank you once again for the tremendous support you showed me
throughout my project. You couldn't have been more helpful. I'll tell
you, I've seen all the other websites and boats, both wooden and
fiberglass, and I have to say that you and the way you present your
business are by far the most professional. Not to mention your product is
the best..., even when I build it myself! As I mentioned on the
phone today, my buddy Kenny has owned and guided out of every major brand
of boat, including skiffs, and he is blown away by the way this boat
performs, not to mention looks-" - Keith - N. Carolina
"I
took my new skiff out on the S. Fork of the Boise River on Tuesday
afternoon. Here are some pictures of the skiff and a fish I caught
that day. Thank you for all your help it rows so easy light and
fast." - Tom -Idaho

Thanks for looking at
our boats and kits. Here at Montana Boatbuilders, we build only the best.
We are the only truly custom drift boat building company and as such we
use the best materials and strive for the finest quality in
everything we do. This means that we have limited capacity. Unlike
mass produced plastic boats we just can't churn out copy after copy.
Rather each boat is made to suit you, the owner, and this takes time.
Quality is one of the things we are most proud of and we won't scrimp
on spending a little extra time to make it right. What this means is that
you may have to wait for your custom boat. Usually we are about 6 months
from order to completion. Times will vary depending on model and options
but we've made our scheduling calendar public to help you understand the
process and plan for your dream boat.

News: The Kingfisher kit is now available.
The Kingfisher is a full 16' straight line hull with 17' side panels. With three pedestals, full length, straight rod holders and tons of dry storage it is the King of do-it-yourself drift boat kits.
Designed with the low rocker hull of our custom Recurve boat, the Kingfisher kit comes with all the precision pre-cut parts for the hull and interior, level floor and pedestals, full epoxy and fiberglass kit stainless fasteners, ash oars and oarlocks. You decide the optional seat type, plastic or wooden swivel kits; plastic or wooden hatch kits and traditional wood or honeycomb Kelvar bottom.
Check out the kit options page and the Kingfisher Kit page for more info.
More news: Project Healing Waters Fly Fishing is
building a drift boat this winter! With plans and kit materials
donated by Montana Boatbuilders, as well as wood and other materials from
Allied Veneers and System Three Resins, US Distributing and Sawyer Oars,
Walter Reed military veterans, our wounded warriors, will be assembling a
Freestone Skiff modified for the use of wounded Veterans. The skiff will
be built in donated space at the Armed Forces Retirement Home. Assembly
began in early January, and the completed boat will be ready for
dedication in April. For more information about this project, and to
