We frequently get appreciative letters from Nord West boat owners as well as clients we have performed repair or fabrication work for. Below are just a few examples

"I just wanted to compliment you on the outstanding job you performed in bringing my Hobie Cat sailboat 'back from the dead.' It's always refreshing these days to witness one such as you who truly takes pride in his work. You should be very proud and I am forecer grateful."

"I've floated rivers in a number of different boats. Some good, some great. The Nord West Drifter is easily in the top of the GREAT category. The boat is extremely well built, durable, maneuverable, quiet and loaded with features not often repeated as well - if at all - in other makes. The interior storage is excellent. The waterproof compartments are very functional and well thought out. I was especially impressed with the rolled-in gunwales and the protected rod storage underneath. I've seen rods stepped on and broken because there was no secure storage place. This is not an issue in this boat."

"If somebody asked me why I chose a Nord West Drifter, I'm not sure where I would start. I love everything in my boat. It's amazingly well thought out, every detail makes sense. The quality of the workmanship is top of the line, and I really enjoy the removable front bench seat which was invaluable on a recent trip with my wife and daughters on the Yellowstone River. I call her my "Cadillac" of the river."

"My friend Dick, my son Mike and I looked at a lot of drift boats before we bough a Nord West Drifter - and we do not regret our choice. We opted for the fully loaded model. It's the same great pleasure every time to float the Yellowstone river, the Big Horn river or the Madison river in not only a drift boat but a comfortable luxury boat, easy to row."

"I can't thank you enough for all the help you provided in customizing a Panga skiff for the lakes of Montana. I ordered the base hull of the skiff and spent months getting to know the boat before deciding how I wanted to outfit her. While I had many ideas and dreams for how I wanted to rig the boat, I had little practical knowledge of how to do so properly.

I was amazed to find someone this many miles from the coast with such a thorough understanding of nautical design and construction. You took a personal interest in my project and helped guide me to the best layout and design. In addition, you were there at every turn to help repair the mistakes I made and offer advice on how to improve upon my ideas.

In short, this project of a dream boat for the lakes of Montana would have been a nightmare without all your help, expertise and insight. I thank you for all you have done to help me."
