Legacy™ Standard Features

Smooth Sides

Smooth sides allow you to customize your boat. Either powder coat or add a one-of-a-kind vinyl wrap. If you need to match a camo to your neck of the woods or show off your guide logo when you’re landing a hog, or you want to stand out, a wrap’s perfect for you.

Integrated Bow Rope

Yet another thing Pavati Marine has thought of to make your life on the river easier and more efficient. Doesn't it suck when you're launching your boat to have to unhook your trailer strap and then after you track down your bow rope and bang the carabiner on the side of your boat, hook it up to your bow eye? That's why every Pavati comes with an integrated bow rope, so your rope is always attached to your boat and you have one less thing to worry about.

35lb Anchor

Pavati Marine's 35lb anchors fit perfectly into the patented Locking Anchor Nest. These anchors are intentionally square pyramid shaped to ensure the best grab in swift water, even on rounded mossy rocks.

Ultra Flow™ Radius Transom

Pavati Marine is the only aluminum drift boat manufacturer that has the capabilities to build drift boats with a rounded transom. Pavati Marine's Ultra Flow™ Radius Transom is a one-piece, rounded transom, unlike other manufacturers that cut and weld multiple pieces together to create a transom with multiple angles. This allows for more lift off the water so your boat doesn't have as much of a rocker profile like traditional drift boats. The result is a smoother ride and less resistance when back-rowing.

Motor Ready Transom With Integrated Motor Lock

Pavati Marine's revolutionary drift boat transoms were engineered to ensure that when you drop your motor into the back of your boat, it locks perfectly in place at the angle it was designed to run at. Our over-built, reinforced transom does not require you to add plywood or any additional stiffening materials to support the weight of your motor.

Jeweled Gunnels

Jeweled gunnels are the finishing touch to your dream drift boat. This brushed-on finish has always been a signature on Pavati Marine drifters. Your new life at the boat ramp will include non-stop compliments from other fishermen!

In-Floor Fish Box With Removable Bait Tray

Hidden perfectly beneath the removable floor system in front of the rower is an in-floor fish box with a removable bait tray. Both sides of the two-sided fish box are 42 inches long by 9.5 inches wide, so there's plenty of room for a couple salmon on both sides. The removable bait box is the perfect accessory for those days when you’re running eggs to keep that bait in one place and offers an easy clean up after your day of fishing is done.

Built-In Rod Storage Tubes

Built-in rod storage tubes are a great way to add extra storage without taking up additional space. Every Pavati Marine drift boat comes with up to four doors. Anywhere you choose to not have a door, you get a built-in rod storage tube.

Adjustable Rower’s Foot Rest

Lightweight and fully adjustable, this removable foot rest gives you unlimited positioning options. Using the Quick-Lock™ Floor System, this foot rest can be moved, adjusted, or removed in an instant.

True Level Floors

This simple but exclusively Pavati Marine feature is just another of saying that we understand you. Yes, every Pavati Marine drift boat has a truly level floor, with no rises or drops to trip you at the perfectly imperfect time. Perfectly level floors with our integrated Quick-Lock™ Floor System.

Removable Diamond Plate Floors

The smell of 8-month-old fish blood and spoiled bait gathering in the bottom of your boat probably isn’t your favorite smell. It’s not ours either, which is why we build all of our Pavati Marine drift boats with removable floors. Now you can reach every part of your boat, all the way down to the hull, in seconds! The floor is made up of several large panels, each firmly secured with premium 3M military-grade velcro that won’t collect debris or lose stickiness.

Gunnel Grab Handles

Pavati Marine has added handy grab handles to the sides of the hull. Just below the gunnel rail near the oar locks, we have programmed in computer-cut holes. These make it easy to pick the boat up or portage around logs or skinny spots in the river.

Hexagon Floor Ribs

Our patented Hexagon Floor Ribs are computer designed by our engineers and cut out by CNC machines to the exact shape required. They act as the backbone of the boat’s structure, holding the true intended shape of the boat and making our drift boat floors truly level. Other manufacturers use a wood or steel jig that forces the boat into its shape, then it’s welded and removed from the jig. This puts a lot of unwanted stress on the hull and doesn’t make for a very consistent manufacturing process – the boats “bounce back” a little after being removed from the jig. Much like an airplane's wing, Pavati Marine's Hexagon Stiffeners are the jig. They’re welded into the boat permanently to insure the correct and original design is held. To top it all off, we punch hundreds of hex holes into the stiffeners, which removes excess weight while keeping the strength. The result: the strongest and lightest stiffeners possible!

Stainless Steel Cup Holders

When it comes to cup holders in a boat, you can never have too many. They are great spots for everything, including scissors, pliers, scents, sun block, and even the occasional cold drink! All of our cup holders are made out of marine-grade stainless steel so they won't crack, break or rust in the elements. Our boats come standard with 6 of them, but you can add as many as you'd like!

Magnetic Side Trays

Our magnetic side storage compartments save you time and space while you’re on the water. With built-in magnets that pilot our “Quick-Draw” technology, you always have your most needed tools one short reach away. Organize and store anything: lures, multi-tools and of course... your can of Copenhagen, all within arm’s reach. Pavati Marine boats come standard with 3 magnets, but you can add as many as you'd like!

“The Truth” Fish Ruler™

How many times have you wanted to know how long your fish was to see if it was legal to keep or brag about? In the past you had to drag out a tape measure, if you could find it, or just guess. Not only is this inconvenient but a lot of fish die because they don't get back into the water in time. “THE TRUTH”™ Fish Ruler is engraved right into the aluminum and is great for measuring leaders too.

Pizza Oven Line Deck With 2 Cup Holders

The Pizza Oven does exactly what it says. This baby can cook a pizza! This is an enclosed space that is heated by our propane heating system. Keep your breakfast warm or even pick up yourself an entire pizza to cook for lunch! When not in use, this feature is an awesome storage compartment. It’s watertight and secure, so cell phones, wallets and cameras often find themselves in the oven.

XL Side Storage Compartments

The side trays offer more than just added strength in this boat; they provide much-needed storage space as well. This is a great place for life jackets, a break-down oar, fire extinguisher, extra layers of clothes, or whatever else you want to have out of the way. The storage remains right at your fingertips and can be easily accessed by everyone!

Locking Anchor Nest™ with Plug Holders

Our patented Locking Anchor Nest is a revolutionary feature that you’ll find in all Pavati Marine drift boats. This setup has an anchor nest with a lock to keep the anchor from jumping out during travel, a spot for your drain plugs, a block and tackle setup for easy pulling, and the anchor release mechanism. Gone are the days of tripping over your anchor that’s sitting on the floor.

12-Position Oar Lock

When you get your new Pavati Marine drifter you want everything to be perfect. Having the oar locks in the right place is essential. Twelve different positions ensure that you will get the most leverage you can for those times when you need all the horsepower you can muster. Easily adjust these by unhooking the carabiner and simply moving these to the front or back until you find the perfect set up!

Quick-Lock Floor System™

Pavati Marine’s exclusive Quick Lock™ Floor System consists of three removable panel sections with a precise layout of hundreds of small notches and holes. This allows every seat and accessory to be moved, instantly and with ease. When you want to change your layout it’s as easy as flipping a latch and finding a new location. In a matter of seconds, with no tools required, you can completely rearrange your boat to adjust for weight, gear and different fishing styles.

Drifter Doors™

The situation, in any other drift boat: you hook up to a giant steelhead. Once you’ve hurdled over the gunwale, you land on a slippery rock and lose your footing. You recover to realize that the fish is gone and you need to figure out how to get back in the boat. Not with Pavati Marine's Drifter Doors™. Invented and patented by Pavati Marine founder Chuck Gros, these multifunctional doors are designed for the sole purpose of making your life simpler. Every Pavati Marine drift boat comes standard with one, but can be equipped with as many as four.

Legacy™ Optional Features

Vacuum-Sealed UHMW Bottom

Protect the bottom of your drift boat and help preserve the life of your boat. This UHMW protective bottom helps when rowing in tight waters, when going over rocks, and protects the boat when pulling up on the shore.

Tempress Fish-On Rod Holders

Rock Guard

Protect the front of your drift boat from rocks and debris while towing your trailered boat. Pavati Marine's rock guards are made from thick materials to protect your investment and keep your boat from getting unwanted chips and dings from loose materials on the road.

Rear Casting Stand

Placed in front of a passenger seat, it gives your fishermen a great place to stand secure and cast either direction out of the boat. This feature is 100% movable and removable. Just loosen up two wingnuts and remove the stand from your boat or place it exactly where it needs to be!

Powder Coated Floors and Boxes

Add style and protection to the floors and boxes of your drift boat. Powder coating adds an extreme layer of protection from the elements and keeps those bumps and dings that are inevitable in a fishing boat to minimum visibility.

Miller Marine Bracket and Slider

The rail system will make your rod holder infinitely adjustable along the length of the rail. The rail is an extruded aluminum linear dovetail track designed specially for this system. The extrusion is made from solid 6061 T-6 aluminum.

Interior Powder Coat

Add style and protection to the interior of your drift boat. A powder coated drift boat interior has many advantages on top of how great it looks. It's easier to clean and protects the aluminum from the elements, which prolongs the life of your boat!

In-Floor Anchor Kit

Pavati Carbon Flex™ Oars

We teamed up with the Sawyer team to design and engineer the most cutting edge drift boat oars ever made. Designed to perfectly fit our boats, these oars are precision manufactured all the way down to the perfect length, weight and balance specs and feature a carbon blade that gives just the right amount of flex in the water for the optimal rowing experience.

Northwest Aluminum Deluxe Trailer

Elite Sides

Add the Elite Side upgrade to your new Pavati drift boat and blast through any class rapid with extra confidence! You’re protected with diamond-punched aluminum on each side for extra strength and integrity. Not to mention, does any other drift boat in the world look as good as a Pavati Marine with Elite Sides? We didn't think so, either.

Electric Bilge Pump

Rainy days can result in your boat filling up with water. Sometimes it's tough to get it all out of your boat while on the river. That's why Pavati Marine offers a fully electric bilge pump, so that's never a worry again.

Diamond Plate Sides

All Pavati Marine drift boats come standard with smooth aluminum sides. Sometimes that just isn't enough. You can get your entire boat sides manufactured out of the very popular diamond plate pattern. From there, you can stay with the raw aluminum look or get it powder coated your favorite color!

Upgraded Line Deck

Upgrade your line deck with additional options such as adding a door to your pizza oven, adding a built-in padded casting stand and upgrading from 2 cup holders to 6! If you need more cupholders than that up front... it's time for a bigger cooler!

Bimini Top

Long summer days or wet winter days on the river can take a toll on you and your passengers. This bimini top is a great way to keep you and your clients or friends out of the elements.

Alpha™ Rower’s Seat

Using the Element™ Rower’s Seat as inspiration, the Alpha™ Rower’s Seat sets the bar even higher. Featuring a diamond-stitched pattern for comfort made out of marine-grade, UV-resistant vinyl material, this seat comes with a removable back for a customized rowing experience. Sewn-in side pouches are the ideal spot for your phone, wallet or other smaller items you want access to.

Alpha™ Passenger Seats

Using the Element™ seats as a building block, the Alpha™ seats come standard with upgraded features such as: a diamond-stitched pattern for comfort made out of marine-grade, UV-resistant vinyl material, a rain fly that tucks away into a built-in pouch and side mesh pockets for your phone, wallet or small items.

Accessory Tower With Plano Boxes

The ultimate boat tackle organizer. Typically used in conjunction with the Rod Holder Box, this tower comes with 3 large Plano boxes, is compatible with the Quick-Lock™ Floor System and features a top tray that serves as a great place for tackle, phones, and even snacks.

4 Pulley Anchor Kit

Pavati Marine's 4-pulley anchor kit system is a great way to keep your anchor pulley system organized and requires very little effort to pull your anchor back up.

Custom Vinyl Wrap

A custom boat wrap adds that final personalized touch to your Pavati Marine drift boat. Our vinyl wraps are made with only the highest quality, marine-grade materials. Pavati Marine boat wraps are UV resistant so they won't fade in the sun, printed at an extreme quality of resolution and utilize the highest-quality adhesive available on the market so they won't peel.

Element™ Passenger Seats

To keep weight down, boat manufacturers typically use cheap, off-the-shelf plastic seats. Not only are they junky, break easily and have to be replaced constantly, they also aren’t very comfortable. Comfort is a must with Pavati Marine, so our in-house master upholsterers designed and built the world’s first lightweight drift boat seat that will hold up to the elements. Using premium marine vinyl, super-dense overstuffed padding, lightweight composite backs and bottoms and all-aluminum and stainless hardware, we created the nicest drift boat seat ever built. Period.

Element™ Rowers Seat

The Element™ Rower's Seat was the solution to a major problem. Over a decade ago, we set out to design the first rower's seat that was made for long days and lots of them. An oversized, overstuffed seat pad was a must. Then we designed a flexible, removable seat back that gives you the back support you need without intruding on those big strokes in tight situations. Now the rower’s seat is the best spot in the boat! Boy, is it about time!
