John Schneider Posted April 29, 2005 Share Posted April 29, 2005 Is there still a vehicle delivery service in Calgary. I am wanting to do a few solo drifts this year and need to contact someone who can deliver my truck/trailer downstream. Anyone have a contact name and number?

SilverHilton Posted April 29, 2005 Share Posted April 29, 2005 JS, Try this one or give David at Fish Tales a call (403)640-1273. He can probably hook you up with a shuttle service.

SilverHilton Posted April 29, 2005 Share Posted April 29, 2005 No problem. We should go for lunch week after next; I'm pretty sure I'll be in town M-W, then I'll be in Calgary. Robin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Schneider Posted May 3, 2005 Author Share Posted May 3, 2005 Sounds good...FYI...I ordered plans from the states for my new drift boat. I will start working on it in the next couple months. I definitely want to fish out of it this summer. You interested? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerBob Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 JS, I had these notes below squirreled away in my PDA... back when I also asked about this service on Flyfish Alberta list.

SilverHilton Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 JS, I am most definately interested in drifting down the river this summer. I'd also like to see your drift boat schematics; when I move back to BC I'm going to build one as well ... you can't beat them for the Kalum and Kitimat rivers. I'll give you a call next week and we can go for lunch. Cheers! Robin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Schneider Posted May 4, 2005 Author Share Posted May 4, 2005 I have decided on Paul Butler projects for his plans. He has the simplest form of boat building that I have seen...no forms, no internal framing etc. I did a model out of cardboard and it does not seem terribly hard at all. As Paul said, his local high school builds several of them each year. I am looking forward to building several and evolving the interior to suit my needs. I am sending away for the plans today and will start purchasing materials from Boatcraft next week sometime. http://www.butlerprojects.com/new/ He has some interesting plans! Next project will be a wood burning hot tub!!! John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
