I have a different steering all together you guys might be interested in trying, I really like it.
You start with the flat/vertical post style steering with the u-joint at the top, then cut and shorten the back triangle brace that holds the top bushing (above the u-joint). You can just lean...
I only was from drayton to braz once so I am no help there.
Rocky to Braz confluence is about 75km takes me about 2.5hr to get there going downstream, fishing is way better below rocky, pretty mellow run, river is slower so upstream travel takes close to the same time.

I used to go a couple times a year up...

Ya, I know, I have no way to balance or anything afterwards but I am careful with what I'm doing. Haven't caused any damage yet, in 16yrs. I know what you mean about sharp vs smooth, mostly need no dings and it will work fine.
I'll get ahold of you next time I need one done, I usually use...
FYI, I have a 6.2 DI with a 212. with a freshly rebuilt or new 3.4 I get 4050rpm WOT and it will not spin out on a WOT launch, however you pickup gravel once or twice and that impeller will spin out on a WOT launch until you take it out and at least sharpen the leading edge again.

In west central alberta you can run the north saskatchewan, brazeau, clearwater, red deer, ram(kind of)...... I think thats about it. I've done all of those with my 6.2DI/212 in a firefish hammerhead 19'6" x 7'wide
