What is your advice for floating the Sol Duc the first time? I have a drift boat and have floated the Hoh, including the drift thru the canyon down to Oxbow, I got out and looked at it before going down and didn't have a problem but it did scare me some. It is probably the toughest section of river I have floated in my drift boat. I have also floated 6 or 7 rivers in Alaska in 13 1/2 foot rubber raft with a rowing frame. So I consider myself pretty experienced but no wear near an expert. And, my fishing partner and I each just bought 11 ft Bucks Bag Pontoon boats. So, with all that in mind, what would you suggest for first time floating the Sol Duc and which drift, should we use the drift boat or the Pontoon boats? We are heading to OP in late Feb with several others with drift boats that have floated the Sol Duc, we can bring which ever is best, drift boat, raft, or pontoon. What's your recommendations?
