Re: Boating the MS river
There must be serious changes in the river from North to South. Up here in Northern Illinois, from the Quad Cities to Belview, WI that is a pretty common boat on the river.(I don't go south very often) I have taking my 14' flat bottom with a 15hp fishing from lock thirteen at Clinton upstrem several miles and back with never an issue. My 21' BR I have taken on two day excursions and never seen anything, even in rough weather, that would scare me to take a 20' pontoon out.
But then again, I must assume the river changes, so my info may be worthless to you:redface:.
