In 1990, Willie Boats was producing rugged, all-welded aluminum drift boats widely celebrated for their signature rowing performance. Based in Central Point, Oregon, a classic 1990 Willie Drifter—usually configured at 16′ × 54″ features a 5086-grade aluminum bottom and an interior chine designed for exceptional tracking and stability.
Key Specifications & Features
• Center Length: 16-feet.
• Bottom Width: 54-inches
• Material: Heavy-duty, welded aluminum. In 1990, Willie was building them to last, with high-gloss epoxy interiors.
• Bottom Design: Transition entry with a flat-bottom design at the stern (the hallmark of their signature rowability).
The boat’s exterior was redone in 2016 with new paint and a new bottom coating. It comes with a Honda four-stroke 8 hp motor that was just gone through last year. I hurt my back last year and am no longer able to row it, so I can’t use it. This boat has served us well over the years and has had lots of fish in it. I am sad to see it go, but I can’t stand seeing it sit unused.
