[QUOTE="Ranchero50, post: 216733, member: 1523"] I get a rush out of running regular water, too skinny water is a rush but it's more waiting for the 'Oh Sh.t' moment to hit, literally. Last year when I went where I should not have gone, it was cool but I was too hyped up dodging widowmakers to realise I needed to stop. Last week then I stopped and walked the water I had been blasting through and seeing all the widowmakers covered in fresh aluminum I was really surprised I've done as well as I have. Granted I draft 3-4" floating, probably less at speed but I'm sure it digs in deeper than that in turns. Shallow running is twitching the steering a bit to avoid the worst of it, no heavy turns. BTW, I couldn't budge even the smallest of rocks that were sticking up, almost like they were concreted in the riverbottom. Jamie [/QUOTE]
