re float: nice most of the time (caught some rain/hail). River was a bit high, keep an eye out for trees/debris in the river. Quite a few march browns out, but the trout weren't looking up. My friend got a nice fish on a posse bugger, we each had a few ldr's. Ramp at crossroads (Christensen Landing) has quite a bit of debris at the entrance - lower water or deeper drafting boats may be better off at Hayes lane across the river.
GungasUncle - Yes, for drifting it runs transom downstream. I added a removable transom piece to accommodate an electric motor for stillwater/tidewater use, in which case it will run bow forward (haven't tried that yet- have to save my pennies for a while). The seat backs are reversable, removable or stow inverted
The anchor system worked fine - never quite sure until you try it. Drifting it handled well - didn't push water, rowed easy.
