French/Italian Alps, boat choice

    Hi guys.
    Quick question as to what boat you guys would recommend for the above. I have access to:

    -A Diesel 65
    -Dagger MX 7.5, 8.0
    -Pyranha H3.

    I feel most comfortable in the diesel 65 and the 7.5, but wondering if I'll get swamped by the water.

    We're going late May, back mid June and plan to paddle the Dranse first. Looking to hit some solid class IV water.
    Looking for opinions, possible past experiences in the Alps using the above or similar.
    Thanks in advance.

    Im a Dagger fan so I'd be picking that boat. I've been to the French Alps with the Mamba and it never let me down. Having said that the MX has rails all the way to the back and Mamba doesn't so as Nookie says, similar to the diesel it will need to be paddled and you'll have to have your arse moving ;)
