Thought I’d add another perspective on this great thread.

First – every drift boat owner (to me) has their own taste, etc… – wants/don’t wants, etc…

I owned a lightly used Clack WF standard profile for about 6 years – no complaints. Paid $5000, sold for $4000.

Sold that last summer and bought a brand new Adipose Skiff – finally saved a few $$ and got precisely what I wanted – $12,500 with tricked out trailer, colors/DeYoung decals, carbon fiber north fork oars (2lbs each!), the works.

To me – fishing primarily northern Rocky Mountain range waters in WY and MT – this Adipose is light years ahead of the Clack.

Complete walk around interior (you could run laps in this boat), open rod trays (AMAZING feature yet so simple) – minimal ‘clutter’ in the boat – easy in/out for older/fatter people like myself! – holds a line very very well, easy to row, trailer, cooler fits beautifully, etc….

So – for what I use the boat for – small stillwater for large mouth to western rivers – with minimal ‘rapids’ – the Adipose Skiff is best thing I could ever dream up.

Whatever that’s worth – hope it helps some.
