[QUOTE="Wallrat, post: 2289411, member: 114665"] [SIZE=14px]Look at the load rating, you don't want to buy a raft with a load rating of 220lbs just to realize that you, with your boots, heavyweight clothes etc... are going to be pushing that.[/SIZE] Sorry, but I’d absolutely stay away from the Alpacaraft. They’re great for certain things like remote whitewater trips, but to get to their weight, the fabric has to be thinner, and that leads to problems with pointy objects. You’re asking a Kia to be an F250. If you can be absolutely meticulous about how you pack them, and constantly baby it, you might be ok. But for the money I’d go with a heavier IK. Mountainbuzz is a boating website with numerous threads on IKs, and would be worth a look. It’s oriented towards whitewater, so plenty of discussion on that...but not much on hunting. Here’s a link to a solid pickup truck of a kayak: [URL]https://www.inflatablesolutions.com/whitewater/inflatable-kayaks.html[/URL] [/QUOTE]
