We're launching 8/1 on Desolations/Greys canyon on the Green in UT for an 8 day trip returning to Seattle around the 10th. I'm looking for an IK to enhance our trip as it's going to be hot as hell and it's about the coolest craft around.
Does anyone have one they're willing to lend in exchange for goods? I'm a trustworthy individual and will take good care of it. Thanks in advance for any offers! Adam |

inner tubes dude, way cooler. I personally would bring one of these bad boys I bought mine at Costco for $79 bucks and it is not all that heavy. http://www.poolsprofessor.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/Bestway-CoolerZ-Tropical-Breeze-6-Person-Floating-Island-0-3.jpg">  http://www.poolsprofessor.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/Bestway-CoolerZ-Tropical-Breeze-6-Person-Floating-Island-0-6.jpg">  |

| My wife and I did it in jackson zens last August, the 27 miles of flat were a little much, but a great trip. It rained every night, but pretty sure that is not the norm. The temps were in the 80's most days, roll practice to keep cool. Only issue was we packed like we were solo kayaking, but then had a raft...not nearly enough beer to last the 8 days. |

| Yup. I mounted a trolling motor on it and rod holders too. I take my kids out trolling for salmon with it. Did I mention there is a built in cooler and pool? |

Oh I rarely use the sun shade as it adds drag and drains the battery. It also makes landing kings harder when they take runs at the raft. Seeing the kids watching fish through the pool bottom is priceless though.
Oh and jet boats that swamp you with wake become an added attraction as kids bounce from tube to tube. |
