FK2, there are all kinds of verables,

1. what kind of boat do you have and is the bottom in good shape?

2. what kind of oars do you have?

3. are your seats adjustable..ie pasanger seat and rowers seat? You my have to play around with the balance of the boat. Even where you have all your gear to. (front to back)

It takes a few trips down the river to figure out how to pull plugs, just take notes as to were other guys are set up in a particular hole and next time you come down set up like they were. Set up is the most important part, 10 feet in either directoin when pulling plugs and you might have to work your butt off to keep the boat in the sweet spot!
Hope this helps.
