TheKing, it sounds like you've stumbled onto the wrong BB. This board is about fishing, the use of hard and soft boats and wearing waders. From your post's, I'm guessing you've never rowed a hard drift boat through a boulder garden.

Here's a link to a BB that sounds like a better fit for you, soft boats, wetsuits etc. Thanks!
