John Schneider Posted April 29, 2005 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? Quote
SilverHilton Posted April 29, 2005 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 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
John Schneider Posted May 3, 2005 Author 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
RangerBob Posted May 3, 2005 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. Someplace at home I have since picked up their business cards too from the Calgary fishing show and met Louise.

SilverHilton Posted May 3, 2005 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
John Schneider Posted May 4, 2005 Author 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
