Now, wouldn't the good man give his wife the new boat and he keep the old
one? Besides I love my Scadden I got from you...I put on a new pole holder
and all sorts of do dads to make it more comfortable for the guy who loves
comfort above all else.

I did call Don and he will let it go for $1200 and will throw in the casting
platform for free...I noticed that Dave Scadden is closing out his Cardiac
Canyons for $900 or bit less...

By the way, aren't you a tad bit busy with all the dignitaries coming to
Portland?

I am in the market for a new/used pontoon boat for fly fishing and

running
class III sometime IV rapids. My wife is interested in joining me in

fly
fishing some of the more interesting waters and I wanted the safest

craft
available with the normal caveat of I can't spend thousands on getting

it.
I am looking at about $500 if at all possible.

Any suggestions?

Chris


Talk to Don at River City about his last Madison River Scadden, and give
your wife the older Scadden. Always thinking.

This probably doesn't apply to you (budget $500)
but it's related. I'm working on plans for a solo driftboat.
....can't believe I didn't think of this years ago.
The key inspiration happened when I read that west coast
steelhead guys were using 24 and 36 volt Minnkota trolling
motors to hold big 17' aluminum driftboats.

Trolling motors have come a long way (power wise) in the
past few years. So, it occured to me a tiny, ultra-light
one-man driftboat would fly, with a motor like that.
With foot operated controlls, you could stand up,
steer with your foot and fish all the same time.
Add an achor and optional oars, for shallow or extra-heavy
water and you'd really have something.
I'm about 2 weeks away from the shakedown cruise.
I'm excited about this. Now I can fish big water any time
I want:

Very cool. The only thing you need to do is get one of those fold up
gas scooters that are being sold everywhere. Put it in the boat and you
can zip back up to your vehicle when you're done with your drift.

What kind of one man pontoon boas are rated for Class iii or class iv
rapids? I've had a PAC 800 and now have a PAC900 and believe that they were
only rated for Class ii
