The six historic and original drift boat models are hand-crafted from scratch by one of two masters: Roger Fletcher or Harold Dynamite Payson. Each model is commissioned by the purchaser and may take six weeks to complete. They are worth the wait! Each model is numbered. The model includes a set of hand crafted oars, oar locks, a lovely walnut stand, brass identifying plate and a certificate of authenticity. All models are 1" = 1' in scale and are built to the plans of the original boats. Prices listed do not include shipping. For the stories about the origins of these boats visit our "Origins" page.
