Adipose Boatworks

Experience Breeds Quality
We build drift boats that are tough, stable, safe, comfortable and perform better than any other drift boat or skiff on the market. While the name “Adipose” may be new to you, we’ve been building and running fiberglass, aluminum and wood drift boats and power boats for years. Experience has taught us what works and what doesn’t. Our Flow skiff has the widest bottom of any drift boat on the market. Why? Because the wide bottom increases stability, aids in draft and maneuverability and increase floor space in the cockpit. Just one reason that our drift boats outperform all others.
Guide Input
No one spends more time in drift boats than professional fishing guides. That’s why we continually seek out their advice on both hull and interior layout design. Ask any guide who rows an Adipose, and he’ll tell you it’s the best boat he’s ever owned. Ask his clients and they’ll tell you it’s the nicest boat they’ve ever fished from. We’re not surprised, our network of guides represents some of the most experienced oarsmen and anglers in the country.
Born in Montana
Our drift boats and skiffs are built right here in Montana, the center of the drift boat universe. When we’re not hand laying our skiffs in our Helena factory, we’re just down the road using them on rivers like the Missouri, Madison, Blackfoot and Big Hole. When we test new ideas and designs on our home water, flaws become apparent right away. We’re guides ourselves, and we analyze our boats just like we would anybody else’s. We never quit thinking about how to design and build a better drift boat…
