2021 Super Drifters Power Drifter 18x54 w/ 2021 Mercury 115/80 tiller jet FS

This is not your standard jet boat/power drifter with a few custom touches and the shallowest running jet boat/power drifter on the market

Im selling my August 2021 18x54 Super Drifters Power Drifter with Jan 2021 Merc 115/80 tiller

Boat is in excellent working condition, runs extremely shallow 2-3" depending on conditions, great 1-3 man jet boat and is the perfect jet boat for our Nor Cal Waters. The only issues with the boat is the exterior paint job as there are some scratches and a few dents and dings here and there.

This boat has ran the Lower Feather at 650cfs, 800cfs from thermalito down to lower Palm, then 650cfs from Lower Palm all the way down to the Live Oak Rock Weir in the High Flow without a single issue. Its ran the Lower Yuba as low as 550cfs and made it up to the dam. I do not recommend running these flows without being extremely experienced at running jet boats and vast knowledge of the rivers you are running.


The motor was purchase new Jan 2021 Mercury 115/80 Tiller Jet and has a transferable full motor warranty till 2029.

The only reason I am selling is cuz it wasn't exactly what I had originally built. There were a few things left out that I really wanted and unfortunately for me they were pretty important things for my work. But she runs extremely well and this is my second 18x54 super drifters power drifter built by Mark Chandler and my 3rd will be from him as well.

What it will come with or on it

.125 bottom with .125 UHMW Bottom welded washer connection

The Jan 2021 Merc 115/80 Tiller Merc has the full platinum warranty upgrade and goes to 2029. Buyer pays transfer fee to transfer protection plan into their name. I think its $110 per their website.

It will not come with oar system, anchor or the yeti as seen in the pics.

I know Im forgetting some stuff with the boat, but its fully loaded and ready to hit the water.
More pics available upon request

I am asking $35k, OBO. No trades, No games, NO JOY RIDES, serious inquiries only.
Currently there is a 2yr wait for a boat from Chandler custom fab and you are looking at over 40k for this set up.

Thanks for viewing

Not too many understand what a serious "jet boat / drift boat" this is.

It would run any river in CA, OR, and WA.

It could be used in the Delt and lakes as well.

If you need a boat for our Lower American, Lower Yuba, Lower Feather, and Lower Sacramento Rivers, this is it.

It would be nice on the Rogue and Klamath Rivers.

It is professionally rigged and ready to go.

Thank you Bill,

You are 100% correct, you can take it pretty much on every river on the west coast with 0 issues. If it can make it up the lower lower yuba to the dam at 550cfs, the feather between 650-800cfs and even the trinity, yes the trinity, taking off at Indian creek and running about a mile or so above Indian Creek at 450cfs, its got to be one hell of a machine.
But again, I do not recommend running these flows, but she can do it.

Definitely looking forward to the newest version, a few things were not done that I wanted, but that doesnt make this boat any worse, just needed a few more custom options on this boat that I didnt get.

When it was fresh off the trailer, by myself, motor broken in, I was doing mid 30s all day with ease, and even after a few years on the liner and impeller wear, with 2 anglers and myself im still in the low 30s. Fastest she ever went was high 30s down river. But speed isnt always the most important part of a jet boat. Its hole shot, which she crushes it and will it run skinny, and yes she does.

She also has no problem carrying 3 anglers, a guide and gear for several days on board with 40gal of gas too. Does it with ease. Hence why I went with the 115/80 tiller over the 90/60.

Her only flaws are the few dents, dings and scratches around her exterior.

You will not find a better flat bottom, tunnehulled, running skinny jet boat/power drifter than this.
