Jon Boat And The Lower Bow

[jusfloatin]

I have been toying with the idea of a small Jon boat with a jet drive for the lower Bow but my knowldge of these matches the amount of people I know that own one. I am not looking to skip up the river at a blinding pace rather would just appreciate being able to get up without pissing anyone off.

 

I cannot have someone shuttle my truck as it is set up to accommodate my phyical condition which might make a boat of this sort more suited to my needs.

 

Like I said I am not looking to get anything to big or heavy. Any help in directing me in some direction would be greatly appreciated.

Don't get me wrong but I don't think you can float down the Bow in anything and not piss someone off let alone go up the river.

There are a lot of people out there that believe the Bow River belongs to them and them alone.

I'm not siding either way, I'm just giving you a heads up it's a touchy subject.

I have fished with guides that use that combination below the weir at Carseland.

A 1448 with a 20" transom and a Merc 20 Jet will get two guys and gear up on step no problem (even three guys at times, depending on how big a lunch you had), and it will do it at a relatively low cost. I'll stay out of the debate/political side of things; I'm new around here, but I can imagine it's like most other places where guys are running jets...
