On the Cabarton.. you'll most likely just dump it when you take out. might get a little water in there at Trestle, some at francois, then you'll be hitting Howards Plunge and taking out. I doubt you'll spend any time bailing. the little bit of water that will be in there won't affect your ride much at all. - if you're just planning on playing on the Cabarton and the Main, I think you'll do fine with a bucket boat.
