Boulder Boat Works Boats as Art

Building BBW Boat
B. Interior components are also made by hand in the shop. This includes polymer parts as well as fine finished wooden parts.
C. Small part fabrication of things like the oarsman foot brace and polymer welding tabs on Yeti coolers that ultimately become affixed to the bottom of the boat.
E. BBW does all the wood finishing for their boats in their shop, and I gotta say it shows. They look like pieces of fine furniture floating down the river. These boats need very little maintenance compared to an all wooden boat. And they will rarely damage on the chimes like fiberglass drift boats might.
F. Then the small parts are made, and are assembled to make whole interior components and have things like latches and hinges applied.

Finishing BBW Boat
H. Finishing details. Things like logo plates and cup-holders are added.
I. Load onto trailer (BBW began manufacturing their own drift boat trailers in 2012).
J. Wash and shine.
K. Present to customers who are pretty excited to have the boat of their dreams. BBW has customers in 35 states and 3 continents.

9: Someone who will stay on the sticks till the guy up front gets it done
8: A boat that doesn’t sound like you are ruining it when it slides over rocks
7: Nice oars matter!
6: Great coolers. Cold drinks matter.
5: A strong yet lightweight boat. Anytime a human powered craft is stronger and lighter, it is superior.
4: Friends. You have to have friends to run a driftboat. It takes two (or maybe three). Friends matter.
3: Cold drinks matter alot.
2: Knowing your driftboat will last your whole life.
1: Love the river.
