I have driftboat and from these and other comments I will not float it in my drift boat. But what would you say about floating the section below 101 in a pontoon boat or a raft with rowing frame (starcraft 13 1/2 ft). My fishing buddy and I use both of these annually for trips in Alaska, but the rivers we have floated do not sound like the Calawah. So, would a pontoon boat or raft be much better that a drift boat???
