I have a 15 yr old Skookum Steelheader white water cataraft and get as much use out of it as my boat. Can't beat it. Took it out west with camping gear and traveled a 100 miles on the Big Horn (Wind River) camping and fishing. Great to get back into small lakes without a ramp. Takes rough water and is comfy to fish out of. When anchored does not keep moving around.
