{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Drift Boat, Pontoon or Raft?

Sorry to be a debbie downer, but I think the scale of your ambition here is a little over the top. 4 guys in a boat is a lot of weight. If you take that boat out on a lot of smallmouth rivers, you will be dragging big time in places and risking your hull's integrity. For instance, on the Susquehanna, guys don't like taking their jet boats out unless the water is over 4' at the Harrisburg gauge. The only guys that do take people out in lower water conditions are guides who know a particular river beat inside and out. Also consider that 4 dudes in a boat would make a lot of noise... Basically, to sum up, I would only plan on fitting 3 people max into a boat, and more commonly expect to have 2. 

If you have any questions about the Sea Eagle FoldCat let me know.
