Over the past couple of years, I have taken floated the Stilly in Pac 8 pontoon boat from Fortson all the way to the Quarry in all differnt water conditions. Had to drag it a couple times but it is easy to say the boat was much more an assest then a hinder...by far!! Hell, I had to a drag a pontoon boat in a couple riffles on the middle Hoh. It is very typical of alot of our rivers under super low water conditions.
