The McKenzie River Drift

How much does it cost to build your own boat?

My short answer is always that you can build an heirloom quality wooden boat that is custom built and outfitted to your specifications for about the same price as a good used boat of equal size.

The cost depends on the size of the boat, the construction materials, and the type of accessories you plan to install.Our kits contain only the very best materials with Port Orford Cedar frames, white oak hand and rub rails, mahogany stem, System Three epoxy, and BS1088 certified marine plywood.

You can vary the price of your boat when selecting the finish and accessories. Most of the accessories, such as a drift boat trailer or oars, are items that you must have but you might be able purchase locally and avoid shipping costs. Some of the items, such as anchor systems or swivel seats, are not critical and can be added to your boat at any time.

The best way to calculate the actual cost of the boat you are interested in is to visit our catalog page. Once you are there you can add items to your shopping cart and it will automatically calculate the final price of a kit and accessories.
