DurangoSteve, you're right, i forgot to mention that, but that was to be another point to my post. I believe the boats were known as Bi-Yaks or something like that, and they began by using Perception Revolution R-2 hulls they bought from perception on a closeout type thing. Then they began molding their own hulls, which had a place for a cooler and other little percs. I hadn't heard about them in a while, sorry to hear they went under.

I'm not sure if I should start a new thread or not, but I'm doing a bunch of reading and research and...

how or what is the best way or at least a good way to determine if a hydraulic is a "keeper"? Being focused more on fishing than playing, I will often tuck my boat right behind rocks and off the sides of eddys and fish them or re-rig flies. Obviously, pulling behind the wrong rock could prove dangerous, is there a secret to determining which ones to avoid? Do I really need to worry about keepers since I'll be in Class IIs mostly?

Thanks again for all the info guys.
