Willie Illingworth built the first known McKenzie style drift boat out of aluminum back in the early 70’s. Today, Willie Boats continues to design and build drift boats that the competition long gave up trying to keep up with. With unmatched functionality and the quality to endure decades of abuse, Willie’s tried and true hull designs have been tested over time on the West’s toughest waters.
