B Gray If you value your gear and possibly your life I would suggest you save your money and wait for that drift boat. Even thought the Sky and the snoqualmie look easy, There are spots, That in a craft that is not made for for taking down a river as easy as these two mentioned. You can get youself in trouble very easily. I would find a freind with a drift boat and float and study the white water and see why it is not a good idea to do this. if you do GOOD LUCK and please be careful.
