Ummm weve taken a 13 footer down it at like 1200 but thats real low. Id say realistically 1500-1800 and youll still be bumping all the medium boulders in the rapids

If you can take a 13 footer at 1200 you can take a 14 footer at 1200. Just run light, get ready to do some rubber humping, and preemptively highside.

The line will become apparent

Indeed, I wasnt implying itd be harder in a 14 footer just that 1200 is pretty low. it would be a 4-5 hour trip. Ive run it down to 350 with a playboat but that raft in the middle sections now will get caught on the bottom in a handful of spots.
