Thanks. Thought long and hard about getting a smaller drift boat but didn’t have good options for storing one (plus they're expensive).
The Dragonfly and frame can fit in my RAV4 and it all stores on ceiling shelf in garage. Wife and I can easily lift it on and off our small trailer. Best feature is drop-stitch floor (same as inflatable SUP) that when brought to full pressure is rock hard. It’s easy to stand and surprisingly stable. Floor is self-bailing so when we took some big waves at Mother-In-Law, boat emptied out in about 20 seconds.
Thought anchor might be too small for the Green but it held immediately in everything but stiffest current and even then it only had to drag a short way before catching on a rock. With double-pulley system, wife could haul up the anchor.
If money and storage space were not an issue, I’d have a Hyde boat, but this is a great alternative for floating and fishing the Green, Henry’s Fork, Warm River, etc. and works just as well on stillwater such as Henry’s Lake and Strawberry.
