by Roger Fletcher

Illustrations by Sam Manning

Divided into four sections, the first 100 pages gives you the history/evolution of the type. The next section is on building, then how to make models, and the final section is lines for 8 different drift boats.

Sections two and four include many illustrations by the talented SAM MANNING. That alone is worth the price of the book.

If you have been a fan of this boat-type from the Pacific Northwest, this book will fill you in on all the details, including measurements so you can build from the information provided.
