Good for you on saving that guy's life. I think part of the problem is people who are new to driftboating ask someone about the skill level needed to row a particular river and the answer is often, "no problem, real easy". I have heard that about the Wynoochie before. I have only been down it a couple of times with a guide buddy of mine and even though it is not class
IV water, you can certainly kill yourself on it.
