Why Buy A Hyde Drift Boat
If you could have the best quality with all the features Hyde provides at a similar price of a lower quality boat, why not row a Hyde? And, you’d get an easier rowing boat to boot!
Our Hull Design
Chopped vs. Hand Laid Fiberglass
BUYER BEWARE: some companies claim their hulls are hand laid when in fact it is only the outermost layer that is hand laid. Don’t be fooled by the chop gun sandwich!
For an added measure of strength, we’ve added extra layers of fiberglass in the chines of every boat. The chines are the bottom edge of the boat. This is the area most likely to collide with rocks in the river, so we made ours stronger than any others out there! Others simply spray their boats into a mold, but this the last place you’d want to compromise on quality. In a Hyde Drift Boat, you can rest assured that you’ve got the strongest, lightweight hull on the market.
We repair all brands of drift boats, so we see exactly how they are made. We know what works and what doesn’t!
Fiberglass or Aluminum: What’s the Difference?
Aluminum-Fiberglass Hybrid Combo
Make It Your Own
We don’t make a “cookie cutter” boat; each Hyde boat is customized for even the most discriminating angler.
Embedded in the fiberglass layers of the subfloor is an aluminum plate. This plate is unique to Hyde drift boats. It allows us to anchor screws wherever they are needed. This means our boats are extremely customizable and able to fit the needs of just about everyone.
There are over 150 different ways to configure a Hyde drift boat. That means we can make this boat just for you. Other manufacturers don’t have the ability nor manufacturing plants to control adaptability like Hyde does. At Hyde, if you can dream it, we can make it happen!
Storage Options
You’ll be ready for anything


Why settle for less when you could get the best at a similar price with Hyde?
Trailers
Our service extends far beyond our sales floor. For all your boat and trailer needs, we offer an online store. In this store, you can purchase accessories for your boat and trailer as well as many other items such as t-shirts, hats, fishing gear and more! When you complete your order, it will be conveniently shipped to your door.
Warranty
- All Hyde boats and trailers come with a peace-of-mind lifetime warranty. This warranty covers the hull and any work we do on our products.
- The warranty is valid for as long as you own the boat.
- If something were to happen to your boat that wouldn’t be covered under the warranty, we will repair it at a fair price.
- Other boat companies may offer you a 100 year warranty on their boats, but how many businesses do you know of that last 100 years? They may be handing you a check they can’t cash.
- Bottom line, we stand behind our products and make a business out of keeping you on the river.
- Hyde has been building boats for 4 generations now. We are not new to this industry and will be able to provide valuable service long after the initial sale.
- Every boat that leaves our factory has a Hyde Lifetime Warranty, even the used ones!
Conclusion
Nobody is going to be satisfied in a boat built to the parameters of the company accountant. When the goal is to be the cheapest boat on the market you are going to have to use cheaper, lower grade materials and processes. You will use sub par hardware and fixtures. You are forced to cut corners with labor, fit, and finish. Let me assure you, at Hyde, we won’t let that happen! We design boats that fulfill the specific needs of the boatman and anglers, then use our years of experience in manufacturing coupled with new technology to build in efficiency. That is how we keep our boats affordable. We do not cut corners or use substandard processes or materials. Every single boat that carries the Hyde name is built by us, not some subcontractor that is simply turning out numbers. Our team lives and breathes the Hyde brand and that pride shows in the best boat you will ever row! Once you get one on the river and feel the difference, you’ll be glad you did your homework. We hope you give us the opportunity to be the manufacturer of your next drift boat.
