The original post said he wanted a boat he could stand up on and use on the peninsula rivers. I have a Buck's and like it, but they only come in the 8 foot size and you can't stand on them. I'll admit the Buck's is not a good choice for heavy water.
Skookum's sales are kind of screwy.
I know somebody who just bought one and he had a heck of a time getting it.
