River Road Jet Boats partnered with Creature Craft Inflatables to make a white water running jet boat. These are pictures of the First Descent of the Upper Gully by a Jet boat this past weekend at Gully fest. That is a Mercury 4 stroke 60/40 on the back

A Creature Craft inflatable. it is a type of supposedly unflippable and self-righting white water raft.

Stood on those house size boulders lining the Gauley River without the turbines on, and it is still scary water at low cfs. Don't know how or why the motor would be of help going down river. But, if they are used as rescue platforms, suppose they would require power.
