There is a big difference in river fishing and white water fishing. I would not think of taking my boat down the middle fork I don't have the skills. I have driven to Lewiston several times and I think my boat would handle a lot of the river there if I were to want to do it. If I were going to fish the Salmon from Riggins on down I would not have it loaded as heavy as I do when Catfishing, Sturgeon fishing, or Walleye fishing. On a trip like that I would have my wife drop me off and pick me up down stream. I would be floating without a motor and a lot of other things.
On the other hand a white water boat floating down the snake around Marsing, or fishing for walleyes at Salmon Falls would not be a great use for that boat. In fact I might even say it would be silly to use a large raft in such a way.
That is why there are so many different styles and types of pontoons. There are so many different needs that no one boat would be great at everything. Same goes for motors.
I have to go back to the OP. Until he can enlightens us a bit more We don't know much about his needs. Ron
