Combo. Width, height, and weight mostly. Nice boats, wish I had one, but a PITA to load, store, and unload on these mothership trips.

Exactly. These things are heavy so loading/unloading is really hard on the crew. Also due to the HUGE width and depth of these boats they do not fit in the racks and must be kept on the deck which creates a less safe environment for passengers. Not to mention they would only be able to fit maybe 2-3 of them on the deck meaning that if we opened it up to PA's a lot of folks would get left out.

If you own a PA and want to experience one of these trips dont let your boat stop you. OEX has kayaks for rent for these trips.

Yes you may have to paddle for a day but it is well worth it. Everybody should know how to paddle and practice it on occasion anyway. Mirage drives do fail and if you dont have at least a somewhat decent paddle stroke you are going to be hating life when it happens (especially on a PA).

Eric has stepped up and is the first person registered for the 5.5 day. If we can get this trip to run it will be epic!
