Very good advice from wit45. A 20-footer might be viable for the Satsop below the forks, but above the forks and on the Nooch you'll be the goober everybody's *****ing about on the Bulletin Boards. It's not possible to own a boat that's suitable for all waters, but you can find a reasonable compromise........but taking a 20-footer on the Nooch is not reasonable.
