So, three of us are planning a trip to the Skeena this fall.
We've got two boats to consider hauling north - 16' Alumaweld drift boat, or flat-bottomed sled.
Drift boat is lighter, easier to tow and maneuver, easier to move on river, etc.
My only question would be shuttle services. I've searched this site for threads involving shuttles, but nothing much comes up. I could take my bike, but I'm not sure how far it is between launch sites. Anything under 15-20 km is easy.
Flat-bottomed sled is heavier, more difficult to move around, but we wouldn't have to worry about a shuttle (I assume).
Given those two choices, what would you consider taking?
