Arn and I are headed to the Middle Fork of the Salmon on Wednesday. I'm having a hard time deciding which boat to take --- the Diesel 65 or the Fuse 48. Levels should be about 3 1/2 feet and the trip is raft supported (space for gear in the boat is not a consideration).
I've had the Fuse for about 2 weeks and it is proving to be a very sweet boat. I had a bad relationship with the Jackson Fun, so I'm hoping the Fuse and I form a different kind of bond. I'm a super nervous boater on new water and I suffer from PRSD (post-rapid stress disorder). So, the Diesel offers comfort, forgiveness and some piece of mind. I'm not a play boater, but would like to find my surfing "legs". Advice? Thoughts?
