[quote michael44]We will not be doing any serious white water, probably places like the south fork, Henry's fork, Henry's lake
would like boats with the ability to use trolling motors, light weight, and durable.

Michael--I reluctantly, and with some reservations, "robbed the bank" and bought a NFO Renegade last spring. I fished from it on the Henry's Fork (Box Canyon to Riverside), South Fork (whole upper river to below the canyon), Green below the Gorge(all sections including Red Creek Rapid), Upper Green in Wyo (many miles above and below Warren Br.)Beaverhead, Madison, etc etc.
I LOVE IT!!! The light weight, frameless design, very innovative oar-lock, oar-storage system. Simple, yet rugged. Awesome storage on each side of the pontoons. Support for an anchor system I frequently use, I could go on and on.
You get what you pay for. I was very reluctant to spend the thousand dollars for it, but I'd do it again without hesitation after using it for a season. It's done everything I want to do.
The "others" perform well too, or they wouldn't be selling them and people wouldn't give them positive reviews. Get the Renegade though if you can swing it. I haven't heard of anyone who regretted buying one yet.
