Given the option of renting a raft to two inexperienced elderly women (67 and 69 years old to be specific) and knowing the water on the river they were rafting was a little high.

Would you rent them that particular model of inflatable canoe?
Easy question, just two or three letters will answer it.
Especially considering they are your mother's friends.
