Default Looking for opinion on Eddyline Rio

I am in the market for a more appropriate boat for use on local flat-water rivers than the one I have now. The stats all look good for a female of my size and considerable experience, but Eddyline isn't promoting the Rio as a river boat despite its name (Spanish for river). The recommended paddler size, length, width and light weight of the Rio are what attracts me to it. Just wondering whether anyone in this club has experience with this boat on rivers like, for example, the Shenango and the Mohican. I paddle a lot of very shallow rivers with rocky bottoms, but can read water so am generally able to minimize the scraping and banging. My fiberglass boat, which is not designed to be a river boat, has held up well to the abuses to which it has been subjected on the rivers.

Thanks for any input you can share.
