"A three hour tour"
What if you are never in the boat for 3 hours?

I mean what if you plan on never being in the boat for 3 hours at a time. 2 hours comes along, you get out for a bit, get back in and keep going.
If you never reach that 3 hour threshold, you should be good.

yukon ok
We went across in it with a push pole and the current is going well.
Push poles were special made for me by a beaver and left at the launch sight.

Yea the river was only knee deep in Watonga.
When it is up higher on that property it gets all the way to neck deep.

The boat leaked at the large ribs a little because spray foam does not grab well to powder coated steel that has not been sanded.
If I build another one I will sandwich the roll of expanding foam that is used for these buildings into the ribs.
But for now it actually works well and with 3 people in it we did not get our feet wet.

Hip waders would get you to the other side quicker though.
