Sit-on-top vs Alpacaraft vs sit inside fishing

Help! I am about ready to buy a boat/raft for fishing/hunting. Primary usage will be on Colorado and Wyoming streams and lakes with occasional trips elsewhere. I am leaning toward the Alpacaraft for the main reason that I could unload it at Pumphouse (on the Colorado river) carry my fold-up Bike Friday and fishing camping gear for an overnighter, then load everything on my bike and peddle back to the truck.
I am still open for any suggestions.
Thanks in advance!

If you have a desire to carry it on your bike then the Alpaca Raft is the way to go. A sit on top would be best for fishing, but they are big an heavy. I think you are already picked the style of boat that is best for your needs:26_7_2:

A true kayak would not be best for your needs, mine yes, your's no. The Alpaca Raft is a great boat. There is a club for them here in Eugene.

The Alpacka rafts are top of the line. You cannot get a lighter boat that has the same durability, period. The possibilities are endless.. Check out these youtube videos---- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fnlDP-sfddU
