My Pro Guide is a game changer in many aspects.

I routinely run float trips on tiny river sections limited to occasional raft traffic. Low water is no issue in such a light, maneuverable boat. The old feeling that I was destroying my boat every time that I touched a rock is gone. The plastic is totally silent as it creeps through the shallowest shoals. I often use rocks as pivot points to turn where I simply cannot get in an oar stroke. Everything changes when rocks seldom leave a mark.

If you don’t own one, it’s because you haven’t rowed one!

A well designed, indestructible boat that is quiet on the water, maintenance-free, and perfect for the shallow, technical rivers that I like to run. It handles great and the polymer hull literally slides over all but the biggest boulders in the river. If you don’t own one, it’s because you haven’t rowed one!

The quietest, lightest and most agile boat that I have ever seen or rowed.

The finest piece of equipment I have owned!

The Gunnison has a dramatic fluctuation in flows from under 300 cfs to over 6000 cfs. Being able to run a dory at 300 cfs has never been feasible before BBW. I can run lower flows than my cataraft. It “slithers” down the river in low water and powers thru big waves and holes during high water. My clients are most impressed by the comfort and beauty and I am impressed by the functionality. The rod storage has made me a better guide by having quick access to different rigs. The boat is light, quiet, and moves quickly. It is the finest piece of equipment I have ever owned!!

A Boulder Boat Works drift boat is the epitome of refined simplicity.

Built with a slide rule efficiency and light weight materials, this vessel is a boater’s dream. A Boulder Boat Works drift boat is the epitome of refined simplicity. This boat is so light and agile you make 3 to 4 oar strokes the boat is hovering and the rest of the river is still flowing… Totally awesome.

The boat is also smooth as silk sliding over rocks, no jolts or stops in bony water like a raft or fiberglass boat…

Guiding on the technical rivers of Central Colorado presents its challenges. Most of the boats you see on the Arkansas and Gunnison drainages are rubber. Dory’s are a distant afterthought and have never really been "run-able" on our rivers. Enter the Boulder Boat, a boat that is not only capable of running class III-V technical rapids, but outperforms a raft in every aspect. The 3 performance aspects of a Boulder that stand out for me are how smooth, light, and tight the boat is. The boat's tremendous chine platform and sharp lines cut the course like no other boat on the market, presenting not only a smooth run, but an efficient one. The boat is also smooth as silk sliding over rocks, no jolts or stops in bony water like a raft or fiberglass boat… making for a lot more efficient and enjoyable ride. The boat moves swiftly and quickly when you set its pace, and it saves you a “boatload" of strokes.
