We have the ability to get tossed around pretty good at our slip on Ontario, Actually almost wore through a forward line over the period of a couple weeks where we had a lot of T-storms. Learned the trick of wrapping old rubber hose at the rub points, (blowboaters do provide some value) We also use bigazz orange defender Bouys .

Yeah....but what if a raft up happens that you really didn't plan for?

We carry lots of lines on board. Would go w/ 5/8".
Our main lines are red & blue. The red's are 15', blues 20 or 25' (been a long winter). Anyhow easy to grab appropraite length.

Thanks Everyone!!! I think I am going to stick with the 5/8", 2-15', 2-25', 1-35' should be a good start.
