description
The perfect do-it-all boat. They'll say, "it's not a dory". And they'll say, "it's not a raft". Whatever...it rows like a drift boat and bounces off rocks like a raft — it tracks clean through technical skinny water but handles the big stuff too. Day fishing or multi-day expeditions. Reconfigure the modular frame for whatever the trip calls for, or break it all the way down, roll it up, and put it on a plane — fly it to Alaska and you're fishing the same afternoon. Hard to beat for versatility.
I'm the second owner and I love this boat. I'm selling because I have three boats, and this one deserves a home where it'll actually get used.
The boat:
14' NRS Freestone Drifter, 2018 (2nd-generation hull — improved drop-stitch floor and top sheet)
Modular aluminum frame: NRS aluminum dry box, two casting platforms, thigh hooks, swivel angler seats front and back, padded rowing seat, anchor pulley system, rower foot brace.
SeaDek added at the rower station floor; front and rear angler stations have finished marine-grade plywood with non-slip coating — no signs of wear
Self-bailing, three-chamber design.
Tough drop-stitch PVC inflates rigid to 9 psi (floor up to 15 psi for heavier loads in rough water)
Rigid transom in the stern — mount a small outboard if you want a motor for lakes or stillwater
Disassembles fully for storage or travel
Dimensions:
Center line length: 14'
Gunwale length: 15'
Beam (widest point): 70"
Bottom width: 55"
Condition: Excellent. Covered its entire life, part-time garage-kept. I'm the second owner. Turnkey rig — hitch up and go. The factory cover is the only thing showing real wear; everything else is dialed.
