I am sure it could be done, but I have yet to see the boat and the driver in this part of the woods that could pull it off.

I got to see Conrad Scott of Scott pumps rip some AK rivers this spring and it was pretty mind bending to see what guys like that can do with the right machine.

On-sighting skinny channels in 4 inches of water at 50+ and making a class 3 rapid look like flat water for starters.

Here is some footage of the tame stuff from that outing.

The Oxbow would seem easier than quite a few of the sections in the lower river. Those jet boats run shallow, but they don't run in no water with a grate full of rocks.
