I want to start packrafting as well as have an inflatable boat when fishing, car camping, rivers, etc.
It would be nice to have my 90 pound lab/dane mix with me sometimes.
Should I get the Explorer and see how she likes it? If she does great! I'll have a boat for me and the dog, or for two people, or me + fishing gear + cooler full of beer.
Or is it complete out of the question that my dog will fit in this thing and should I just say screw the dog (I love her) and buy the Alpaca and then I'll be able to go ultralight?
I would love to hear from you all that have experience with these boats.
Basically, should I get the Explorer 42 or the Alpaca?
And is it fair/logical to bring a dog on one of these boats?
I've attached a photo of the pup. As you can see she's about 46 inches in length.
