Lots of bigger boats than that on the river :-)

The river is constantly changing, so you have to know your channels, and know the general layout. There are many guys running with 20'+ boats there, so it's doable for sure! During the second week of September there should be some steady daily traffic, so if you get hung up or stranded, there should be someone to lend a hand or go get help for you should the need arise. If the runoff levels are low, you're in for a real roller coaster on the Tuchodi :D

Good luck finding a parking spot in the parking lot. I cant believe how many people have jetboats and how much pressure those 2 rivers see

Have a buddy that will allow me to park at his place.

Did the Muskwa in the late 90's. Parking lot was just as you describe. But only saw three other boats the whole time while on the river.

I saw a 22' twin jet up past the outfitter camp! The guy said it was so big he barely needed any water for it to float. They had a pretty plush camp with all the room they had in that rig. Was the first week of September.
