[Paddlewise] Rec boats

Anyone on this forum have an opinion on a decent boat for shallow rivers
(read rock scratches), mostly grade 1-3, and small lakes? I'm seeing a lot
of recreational boats that are so wide that they aren't as much fun to
paddle, but white water boats don't work well crossing small lakes. Maybe no
such animal exists, but if you have an idea, I'm open to hearing it. Our
regular boats are too long for rivers, and too valuable to chance the rocks
and sticks on the bottom.

Thanks,

Steve M
