My conclusion (and hopefully not just wishful thinking) is that in the drift boat, I will be able to float the Upper Potomac when its a bit higher, and when its not, I can focus on certain deeper sections, lakes, trips to western MD, or of course, the lower Potomac.
I am convinced that with a drift boat, you will suddenly acquire new friends. I'm first in line.
The drift boat is good for floats. You need at least two people and one has to be at the oars. It is a great boat for guides who know their stretch of the river and who have the whole "drop off and pick up" thing down. I floated Harpers Ferry with Butch Murphy in his drift boat and it was great, but I think having two or three people who share the boat (and time behind the oars) would make it more fun than being the sole owner and having to train new people to oar every time, but you have that problem with any boat.
