2026 Alumaweld Free Drifter 20
About This Yacht
The Alumaweld Free Drifter 20 is a 20-foot aluminum runabout built for shallow-water fishing and drifting techniques. Its 6-degree deadrise hull with Performance Path Lifting Strakes delivers quick planing and shallow tailout capability. The boat measures 7 feet across the beam and weighs approximately 1,270 pounds, with a fuel capacity of 37 gallons and a capacity rating of five persons or 750 pounds. The heavily constructed hull features .160-inch bottom thickness and .125-inch sidewall thickness, engineered for a dry ride and stable handling.
The open design prioritizes casting freedom and angler movement. Two folding seats sit atop aluminum storage boxes, and full-length tackle trays run along the sides. A foredeck locker with locking door, an extended step deck with integrated fish box, and a wide transom tray provide abundant storage. The forward fuel tank aids weight balance. Rod grippers and transducer brackets support fishing gear and electronics.
Standard equipment includes an electric bilge pump, running lights, depth-finder boxes on port and starboard, and a five-switch panel with dual USB ports and 12-volt outlet. The deck features premium Armor Tech floorboards with Dura Tuff non-skid vinyl covering, and an under-floor protective coating protects the structure. An aluminum transom rigging compartment with floor drains and a full coaming complete the build. The boat accepts either prop or jet power, rated to 115 horsepower with remote control or 75 horsepower with tiller operation for prop setups, and 80 horsepower maximum for jet configurations.
