  • We take exceptional pride in the quality features in Rapid Craft Aluminum Fishing Boats.
Rapid Craft has revolutionized small aluminum boats by combining the rugged floor structure of the larger river jet boats and putting it's unique inner-structure into the smaller and 

more affordable Powerdrifter.   

Powerdrifter's design equals unsurpassed strength and durability in the stress areas. 

It's what you don't see that sets Rapid Craft Aluminum Fishing Boats apart from other aluminum fishing boats.

 Suspended inner-structure  of stringers and cross bars eliminate the tork or twisting of the boat.  .  Double welded extruded "chines" from 6061-T6 aluminum provide superior strength and take the wear and tear off the boat bottom.

  • "BRAND NEW" specially created by Rapid Craft.  Innovative gunnels customized to fit your hands grip.  No sharp edges and no pads are required.
