A friend has floated the Mississippi and the Yukon rivers in a kayak. He got dropped one day at Black Rock . Called 10 days later from Russelville. One thing to float downriver another to paddle upstream.

It's an interesting journey. I guess for some, it's the equivalent to climbing Mt. Everest. Waaaay more skeeters on the river tho. [emoji4]
When I was in my teens, me and a couple of my buddies built a raft and floated from Money MS on the Tallahatchie River all the way down to Vicksburg on the Yazoo. It was a long trip with lots of skeeters........
I'd rather have an aluminum prop that aint worth a flip absorb the damage and get ruined than have a stainless prop that stands up to the damage and my lower unit get ruined.
A guy was floating the Mississippi on a kayak a year or so ago and decided to make a stop in Memphis. Beached the yak under a bridge and walked into town for supplies and when he returned the kayak, like anything else in Memphis that is not nailed down, was long gone. I think one of the local outdoor outfitters raised money to get him a new one.
This one I will use if I ever do that . We took a 50 mile ride down the Tennessee river last Sat . It will motor !Attachment 245534
