[QUOTE="acabtp, post: 276517, member: 5368"] sounds like an awesome plan! i would second the recommendation to go with a canoe for this voyage. a lot of the USA and most of Canada were explored via canoe. they are a very good long distance craft. a 15' canoe is very easy for one person to handle and has a capacity of about 600#. a 12' jon boat only has a capacity of somewhere around 350#, i can't imagine what the capacity for an 8' would be. lash everything down well and you won't have to worry too much about losing things if you end up capsizing. take lots of pictures!
