Hey everyone, looking to get some pointers on the Kechika and Turnagian as next fall will be my maiden voyage out there. Aiming for the last week of September and first week of October.
I am running a
- 2011 20' Custom weld (22' including grid)
- 11 degree hull
- 350 kodiak with AT 312
- 300 litre tank
- Brand new 2.9 KW stainless steel impeller
- *** No UMHW***
Would be looking to launch at Fireside and head the approx 104 km to The Turnagain and then head up until fuel stops us or find a great camp spot. Day trips from there. I have ran small rivers in southern BC and would consider my technical experience decent but am just wondering if a boat my size would have any trouble if the water happened to be on the skinny side. Would be 3 guys, packing light with small tents and 700- 800 litres of fuel.
Thanks in advance for any input.
I would highly suggest the Uhmw as there are lots of skinny sections, better to slide then stick! The boat itself will do fine, might want to think about a pump protector as well?
I like drinking beer and whiskey, shooting guns, jetboating, love a nice rack and a tight line, I am simply a sophisticated redneck...
