You might be ok this time of year Bobby, but where I float the river closer to where it drains into the athabasca it's shallow, lots of rock bars. We once tore a hole in the bottom of a zebec. The only thing I use in the pembina now a days is a kayak, and even then in August I have to get out every now and then and pull the kayak across the shallows.
Bring a spare prop for sure, if you have a chewed up one is put that on right off the bat, keep the good one for the float back down stream. Otherwise drop off up stream and float down stream. The spots buy my cabin are any where from a 6hr float, to a 14hr float depending on where you drop off and float to. The one I do most often is a 7-10hr float depending on the water level, flow rate, and temperature. If it's hot there is more time spent drinking beverages.
