Just can't get my weight down enough. The advertised total weight limit for the Old Town sportsman 119 is 354 pounds. I'm at 327. Thats better than last year (I was 20 pounds over) but still not good enough. I can't ditch anything else.
Ill be on the Rock in Illinois, and its a fairly fast moving river. I know I'm gonna sink, often. I'm going to have to stay close to shore, and have no handling, again.
I'm honestly tempted to work through the winter. I could probably buy a Pakcanoe 150 this spring. But that would mean no trip this year. And I don't want to not do something just because its difficult.
If the water was frozen, I'd be golden, but it looks like a lot of transition ice, maybe all winter.
Time is getting short for this decision. To go, or not.
