Its not all that fast as it seems; average paddling speed is about 1.5-2 mph and 3 mph would be a pretty good work out to maintain. Mounting up 2hp on a fully loaded canoe (cooler with 4 cases of beer and ice) ::) with gear it only moves at about 6-7 mph, as far as rocks go I think I grazed a couple nothing serious. We did take the mechanical portage lifts on our way through so this was a very easy trip plus Snow Bay is practicaly a fish factory. [smiley=thumbup.gif]
