    Any opinions on whcih would be better or more versatile for TVA tailwaters…

    …and which would give you the most bang for the buck?

    Zach, what did you think of Buice’s raft?

    Anyone use a motorized raft?

    I have a riverboat and a pontoon boat and feel they are both very useful for the TVA tailwaters because their use and reach depends on the current flow.

    Which rivers are you considering fishing the most?

    Mark –

    For straight-up floating, the raft was great.

    Mark,

    Zach is correct. I have the same boat Mike (Supreme 2060) has and it is great for tail water that get moderated flows.

    The raft looks nice although it says only longshaft motors, just have to make sure that the motor you want can have a long shaft. Those are some fat tubes on that raft.
