This could be a gear review, because I’ve had the pleasure of fishing out of one of these boats before and they’re sweet. I also had a chance to row one recently and that made me like them even more. Well, as it turns out the owner of the company, Link Jackson, is letting his personal demo boat and trailer go to make room for a new model destined soon for his garage. Ah, hell, rather me regurgitating, here’s what he has to say:
“Today is the day…..I must make room for the new Salmonfly prototype in the garage while I am testing it. My personal Green Drake boat with 1 summer season of use goes up for sale today. The basic package (same as new package) including a brand new frame is going for $5,000 and my cargo trailer will go for $1500. P…hoto above. The boat is in great shape and the trailer is in good to great shape (I recently installed aluminum plating on all surfaces that road gravel hits to avoid having to touch up paint). First offer buys it.”
That’s right– throw him an offer! I really, really wish I was in a position to buy this boat. If I was, I’d have already called, texted, emailed, Facebooked and sent a carrier pigeon to reserve it. And I’d already be on my way to Boise to pick it up. Here’s a photo of the actual boat. Some lucky guy or gal is going to be tickled to get this thing.
You might ask, “Hey, Unaccomplished Angler – why are listing this on your blog? What’s in it for you?” Actually, a case of Bud. So if you buy the raft, tell Link I sent ya. Then take me fishing in your new boat. I’ll buy you a beer.

I assume this boat has been sold. Any green drakes, salmonflys, or trailers for sale?
Jeff, as you guessed, this boat is long gone. However, you might consider contacting Link at Streamtech and see if he has any used boats coming in.
Hi, I would like some info on your drake model raft. I am in michigan and am looking for a raft that doesnt draft alot of water for our low summer water levels. I would also like to kno if you have any info on where I could look for a used model. Thanks, gus
Hi Gus, I would suggest contacting the folks at StreamTech: http://www.streamtechboats.com/contact_streamtech.html
As for used boats, they don’t come around often and when they do I imagine they are snapped up pronto. Good luck—hope you find one because they are sweet.
