A drift boat any Hokie will love
Now, this is the kind of drift boat that will turn heads. In fact, owner Keith Andrew says he's had folks pull u-turns to follow him and ask about the boat.
Andrews, who lived in Blacksburg until moving to Owensboro, Ky. in 2004, built the boat with his son Trey. Andrews is a Hokie, and said he was hoping the design draw attention and give him an oppotunity to talk about Virginia Tech and the Blacksburg area. They launched the boat on April 16.
Andrews said he and Trey put more than 700 man hours into the effort and, even in this photo, the craftsmanship is obvious. Andrews said he hopes to haul the boat back here later this summer for some fishing on the New and James, and I hope to get a personal look at it then.

The Landlubber will be Keelhauled as punishment, layin waste to the barnacle-encrusted bottom while the Lass's wail over Lily-livered weaklin's!
