If I was ever going to spend on a drifter..I'd make sure that it is big enough for three. Not much whitewater in MO or Arkansas...a lower profile boat like a Hyde Skiff or Clacka Headhunter or a river jon might be a better choice....otherwise...stick to canoes, sit on top kayaks, and pontoon boats. You could get two nice pontoons for the price of a drift boat trailer. Cheers.
