![]() The Max building plans include a 40 page spiral bound manual of photos, sketches, sources, step-by-step, builders tips, plus in-depth discussion of options and modifications to customize the basic boat, all written for amateurs and first-timers. Some Max builders have installed thicker topsides and structural seating instead of compartments, and whitewater versions have completely compartmentalized interiors with self-bailing footwells. Or the center console can be equipped with adjustable seating for changing situations. The boat can be set up for a guide and client layout with aft rowing station and room forward to stand for casting, or with midships rowing station and seating on fore and aft compartments. A motorized version provides the ability to launch at the "put-in", repeatedly motor upstream and drift back down, without the need for a shuttle vehicle at a separate "take-out" location. Traditional drift boat seating may also be installed over the console, and the seats can be made removable for the best of both layouts.Ī motor well in the console locates a small motor safely and efficiently inside the hull with easy access to motor controls, and even the smallest of gas or electric motors will push the slippery hull. The center console feature provides structural support to the clean open hull, adjustable seating, storage and flotation compartments, and is also an ideal location for a motor well. The increased size of the Max boat provides a considerable safety feature in rough water, and it will handle up to three adults with gear. The Max boat is only 18 inches longer than the Mini but the increased width and depth of the Max provide almost double the volume of the Mini and at 125 pounds for the lightweight version its still a cartopper if you don't want the hassle of a trailer. The Maxi Mac is a slightly enlarged version of the solo Mini Mac drift boat. ![]() ![]() A cartopper if you don't want the hassle of a trailer
