Aluminum is OK
Posted by: kayamedic on Oct-22-12 4:49 PM (EST)

I tripped for 20 years in one..but the hull grabs every rock it can; rocks that other materials slide over..

Its kind of up to you how much wading you want to do for one bitty annoying rock in the Ozarks..and you have plenty of itty bitty annoying rocks.
