question about upper current river float

[polock]

My buddy and I are wanting to float from cedar grove to akers one day... instead of lugging my canoe around that i am wanting to trade for a kayak anyway.. I was wondering if you think you could float it ok in a 14x36 johnboat. I have been all over in this little boat and i figured the luxury of having a trolling motor might be nice. just wondering if you thought we could make the float in the little boat ok.

also.. do you think 250.00 for a 1 yr old pretty much brand new pelican pursuit 100 dlx kayak is a good deal... comes with all the goodies. has one storage in the back.

The upper current has been real low the last few years and I don"t think you could make it in a jon boat. There has not been enough water for a canoe really. There has been alot of rain in the past few months, I have not been up since duck season. I am planning on a trip this weekend if my flu goes away.

As far as the yak, try to paddle it first. Personally I like a 12' boat better. it has more room. Try it out if you can, see how easy it is to get in and out of with waders. Check the stability.
