Skiffman, it makes a lot of sense to me. I own plastic for salt water and leave the sleds and drift boats to guides and friends. That way all basis are covered and we all have great fishing oppurtunity throughout the year. For me sleds are a lot of work and i will leave the tieing leaders and operating the tiller at the same time to someone else. The plastic will also give you oppurtunity to do other things like head up to the San Juans.
