well, i will be damned. so did i. a canoe, though, from mad river.
seemed the most stable/lightweight/inexpensive option.

now we have another reason to meet, act like fools, and drink to
excess.

oh, btw, i see that riverman is also "on board" (hilarious, doncha
know), and seems to be very experienced. do you mind if i email you
with all kinds of newbie bull**** querys, myron?

Howdy Wayno! How'd you get here? Nice to hear from you. :-)

Which Mad River did you get? I've found MR to make the best boats around,
but they usually are far from the least expensive.

well, i asked for the most stable platform available. my intentions do
*no* include whitewater. just little day trips down some relatively slow
moving small rivers around piedmont and eastern north carolina.
so the outfit suggested a 14' royalex (olive), called the "adventurer",
iirc, and i added wicker seat backs.
i don't plan on fly fishing from the boat, but some ultralight spinning
might be fun. would i need a pontoon addition, or is that just too lame for
words?

thanks for your suggestions. that process about cartopping was great!
