Another Boating Question

[BRH]

As a follow up to the previous boating question, would a 14' jon boat with a 6hp be enough to navigate the White and Norfork tailwater when they are running water. I would assume it depends on how many units are on but what about typical conditions. Any advice would be appreciated.

There is no typical condition. Every day is differant. I never know what to expect when I wake up every morning. I would encourage you to rent a white river boat rather than try and make something else do. I teach a river boat safety course at the FFF Southern Council Conclave every year and I have heard some real horror stories.When in doubt use the best boat for the circumstance and do not take chances. You only have one life. Make it last.
