LSG

The RO LSG (Low Side Guide) is built for anglers who want maximum control, minimal wind resistance, and the cleanest rowing experience possible. Designed for technical water, variable weather, and the demands of full-season guiding, the LSG offers the perfect blend of stability, shallow draft, and low-profile efficiency.

With lower sides than a traditional drift boat, the LSG cuts through wind, handles like a dream, and keeps entry and exit effortless for anglers. It’s the model many guides turn to when windy afternoons, tricky seams, and long days on the oars are the norm.

Crafted with RO’s advanced composite layup—including fiberglass, Kevlar, Innegra, and carbon fiber in high-impact areas—the LSG is lightweight, durable, and engineered for season-after-season performance. It’s as strong as it is responsive, making it one of the most trusted low-sided drift boats in the West.

Performance on the Water

  • Low Profile, High Performance – Reduced side height cuts wind, improves control, and keeps your rowing stroke efficient in all weather.
  • Shallow-Draft Control – Wide, stable bottom lets you slide into skinny water and maneuver confidently around structure.
  • Responsive Handling – Balanced chine and rocker help the LSG track cleanly, pivot smoothly, and stay predictable under any load.

Designed for Hard Use and Easy Days

For Guides & Rowing Purists

The LSG excels when rowing efficiency matters most:

  • Less wind grab means less fatigue on long floats
  • Predictable handling keeps clients steady and safe
