Jim paddled one all summer , over 170 hrs, report: A GREAT BOAT. In demanding small streams with micro eddies, and the need to exit or launch fast, one could not beat the Bay Lee I. “I liked the scooter start option, ability to push off and be in the current from a small eddy and be ready to paddle, no delay trying to get the spray deck on. Not only does “scooter start”, make it safer to enter fast small current, it also allows you to keep the boat deeper in the water thereby reducing wear on the floor and bottom of the tube.
In larger rivers with HOLES: The Bay Lee I does FANTATIC! The ENTIRE Boat empties in seconds. I never had water in my boat no matter how big the hole was. When we paddled spray cover boats in Ecuador, we found filling up with water in the first 1/3 of the rapid, thus making the packraft very heavy, was a major problem. Not the case with the Bay Lee I.

Best Endorsement: ” I just bought a 2011 Alapacka, big mistake, after using the Bay Lee I, I was so impressed , I gave the Alpacka to my Wife and bought a Bay Lee I” Mark, Palmer AK
“The Bay Lee I is heavier than an Alpacka, and it does not pack as tight. In the beginning I thought I’d take an Alpacka on longer hike-in trips, but as the summer progressed I found I took the Bay Lee I because I felt safer in demanding water.” Jim, Palmer Ak
