Here’s a set of interesting pics sent over by Missoula Guide and Outfitter Tony Reinhardt of Montana Trout Outfitters last week near Missoula.
Towing a wooden drifter all over hell and back in Montana and surrounding states I always wondered what would happen when some moron was texting and smacked the trailer.
Filed in the dumbass of the week file and immediately enquired as to the health of the wooden drifter. Tony replied –
The boat is structurally OK, he’ll just need to fix a couple pieces that cracked, but remarkably it is river worthy even after the hit. The trailer is toast though with broken welds and a broken winch post…
Sounds like it may have been a young female in mid-selfie; we still say selfies suck.
And long live the wooden drifter. Kudos to Karl Jones of Bitterroot Boatworks for building ’em tough. Images via Kurt Long, the guide involved in the accident.
