Mini me's are great, I have some friends that have 3 of them. They run mostly the ark, but you could run all kinds of steep creeks and tight runs. You wouldn't have a problem on any section of clear creek.
Ive got a 10 foot foam floor self bailing conversion w/ 16" tubes, and extremely wet ride!!! not willing to run it on anything but 103 to Kermits yet! could be interesting though?
I also have a 14 footer that is sluggish and not fun at lower waters!
I'm hoping this will be what I need for in between?
My super puma is a great boat. I have it set up for r2 to r5 and as a trip boat. small enough to do technical water and large enough to pack all gear for a multi day trip with 2 to 3 people. Rides high in the water and tracks great.
