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.

Do they connect the three together side by side to make one raft?

A mini me is neat for one maybe two. I was in one with three of usand the tube I (200#) was sitting on was barely above water.

If you want to bring friends or any gear get a real raft of at least 12 feet. Obviously self bailing is key if you plan to do stuff like 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.
