Hull Profile Description:
This Boulder Boat Works High Side Dory is ideal for those high gradient freestone rivers and wave trains. The 35” bow helps blast through those standing waves and keep lateral waves at bay. Our signature rocker profile allows the boat to stay nimble with a shorter wet line and our pronounced chines help hold your line with little effort. The High Side is the do-it-all hull in our lineup that can tackle anything thrown its way but may not be the best option for those slower tailwater rivers with prevalent wind.
Model Description:
The Gradient model (F.K.A. Hybrid) is an adaptation of our signature Legacy/Pro Guide dory build providing full white ash interior wood components, a walkaround front seating position (with a cooler or dry box), and a single rod tray that provides clean/flat rod storage and additional workspace. The hybrid build presents modern components and a fresh take on our Legacy model.
Construction Overview:
Hull: Our hand welded hulls are designed and built to withstand the toughest conditions at the lowest of waters. The natural buoyancy, flexibility, and quiet nature are all major benefits of our signature lightweight sand shade polymer hull. These benefits of our HDPE hull are what sets Boulder Boat Works boats apart from other manufacturers.
Structure: The white ash wood components have all been finished with Linex throughout, providing extra durability and eliminating the refinishing maintenance of our bright (epoxy/varnish) finish wood components. The rest of our interior polymer components throughout the boat are hand milled and welded to provide a uniform look and lightweight feel of the boat. Stainless steel hardware is used throughout the boat to eliminate any corrosion or rust.
