The 16' High Side is designed around
the concept of bait fishing and pulling plugs
At ClackaCraft, we always pay attention to the requests of our customers. Over the past several years we have been asked to build a boat that would satisfy the demands of big white water enthusiasts.
To do this we raised the sides of our 16' Salmon / Steelhead Guide model. Rather than 23 inches, the sides on this boat are 30 inches. The bottom width of 57 inches is the same as the standard Salmon/Steelhead Guide model and the old School High Side has the same unique ClackaCraft Botom with Tunnel Hull, Gulf Stream Bottom and TrackingChannels.
The oarsman may be accompanied by up to three passengers on the front bench seat. Typically everyone will have their rods in rod holders. Both the front passenger bench seat and the oarsman bench seat are fully adjustable for fore-aft trim regardless of loading and distribution of weight. The rowing bench seat comes standard with a comfortable padded white tractor seat.
Standard padded swivel bucket seats on side to side adjustable tracks make the front bench seat very comfortable for up to three passengers. The tracks allow side to side weight distribution, placing the heavier person toward the center and the lighter person further toward the side of the boat. This makes the boat much easier for the oarsman to control.
Standard front bench storage and standard rowers bench seat storage provides a large amount of dry storage volume, removing clutter from the floor of the boat.
(front-rear seat adjustment is standard on Guide Model)
