2021 Drake Nomad

The 2021 Drake Nomad is an 18-foot fiberglass flats boat built for shallow-water fishing and extended time on the water. Powered by a 2024 Yamaha 70hp outboard with just 50 hours of operation, the hull is designed to stay dry and manage chop when crossing larger bodies of water. The boat comes with a single-axle aluminum trailer.

Onboard electronics include a Simrad chartplotter and stereo system. The helm features Bay Star hydraulic steering, Lectrotab trim tabs, and a Minnkota trolling motor. Lighting is provided by undergunnel lights, and a bilge pump handles drainage. The interior has premium grey cushions and carbon fiber hatches.

The fishing layout includes forward and rear casting platforms, a single power pole, and a large rear livewell. These features are arranged to support serious anglers working the shallows for extended periods.
