Around here the fisherman would never be caught dead (umm, that's a figure of speech, understand) in a little plastic rec boat. He'd be in a proper jon boat, which is essentially a 14'x4'x1' aluminum box with good primary stability and virtually no secondary. They are hard to turn over, and basically impossible to rescue. No jon boat user is ever going to take a rescue class, because he knows he won't turn over, and in fact is 99+% right. Unfortunately, he won't wear a PDF, either, which is why several of them drown every year when the stand up to pee after the first half of the six pack. -- Steve Cramer Athens, GA *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
