Heck Yeah!

I have the same boat........it will treat you well. In my year-round fishing, I still bank it about 75% of the time but that other 25% of boat time is huge in that it gives me the flexibility to be on a hot fishery when it happens instead of wishing I had a boat.

Simply put, it gives you more options. Not to mention the inherent pleasure you get from just floating a beautiful river; good fishing or not.
