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... www.davescaddenpontooncraft.com By the way, aren't you a tad bit busy with all the dignitaries coming to Portland? Chris "bugcaster" wrote in message ... "Padishar Creel" wrote in message ... 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. |

I am looking at about $500 if at all possible. Any suggestions? Chris 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: http://montana-riverboats.com/static.../The_Idea.html |

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. -- Frank Reid Reverse Email to reply |

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 -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- "Are you still wasting your time with spam?...
