Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Fly Fishing Holy Grail Barn Find

I was minding my own business, when I got a text that a Tom Morgan drift boat was for sale. I looked it up and I couldn't believe my eyes. Locally, there was a Tom Morgan drift boat that had been stored in some barn on a ranch for years and this person selling the boat got it for almost nothing to get it out of the barn.

I contacted him, and was afraid I may not get to it soon enough, before someone else got it. With my contact information sent, I was checking emails every 5 minutes to see if I could get the boat. He called early yesterday morning and I hurried to his house and there it was. If you don't know who Tom Morgan was, it really doesn't mean much, but if you do know, that is a game changer.

Anyhow, I got it sitting in my yard, waiting for the next process in refinishing the boat or just trying to salvage how it is presently to keep it a survivor. Tom started making these boats in 1993-1994. He designed it to float either way down the river depending on rowing with 2 or 3 people.

What a find, I hope to be using it soon...

Hell ya👍

Too Cool

Fantastic, you can row me down the river.

This ^^^

Looks poorly made. Congrats

Guy just cut the ends offa McKenzie boat.

Water better be calm.

Is this a famous local person or somebody you knew or something?

Cool. Can't wait to see what you do with it. Repairs and fishing

Dang Shrap, you luck into unbelievable deals. You need to buy a lottery ticket. 😁

That is a rare find. Congratulations.

Nice snag! I would love to drift the Bow River in that boat!

Which end does the motor go on?...

Nice drifter, how long is it, did it come with good oars. 14ft or less in lenght, will take some work to keep in drift, until you have some practice! .I see the oars now. Good score!

How deep of water is too deep?

Cool.

We call those prams.

Did you see second to last pic?

Lol.

Willie Boats...." simply the best"

Glad you found it.

Nice pram but 3 clients (4 people) is not gonna happen. At least not twice.

I used to have a Winston "Tom Morgan Favorite" fly rod. It was a nice little rod; 8 ft for no. 4 line. I other rods though that I liked better and didn't use it enough so got rid of it.

Nice find!
