I think first we'd have to decide if we wanted to float the rivers with it. If so it would require a good metal one. If on the other hand it's only for lake use then one of the non-metal ones would do. Other than that it would be the quality of the materials used to make it.

Never heard of it, but i do like willow the wisp...
What does it all mean, damnit???

Maybe you could get people together and raise the money needed to clean it up and get it back to where boating would be good there again?

Just seems like time that some of us who haven't been activists in these areas started considering the idea. :)
