Thank you for your interest, but the McKenzie River Dory / Drift Boat Thinker’s Whim has been sold.

This classic McKenzie River drift boat, lovingly hand-built in 2008 to Robert Fletcher’s timeless plans, was more than a fishing craft. She was a portal into quiet places—where water whispers past gleaming cedar rails and thought drifts with every stroke of the oars.

Rowing her through sun-dappled backwater eddies and hurtling through curning rapids canyons felt like slipping into another time. At day’s end, with the hull pulled up on a gravel bar and a mug of hot tea warming my hands by the fire, I discovered stories waiting to be written—tales of exploration, endurance, and losing oneself in a journey.

If you’re here looking for classical adventures, and without shooting white-capped rapids, I invite you to explore some of those stories:
