Whats an oarboat?
Actually it’s the same raft but with a metal oar frame and a pair of l0-foot oars strapped into its center. The massive oars, controlled by one experienced, guide-brain, generally offer more precision in difficult water. We occasionally may switch, at extreme flows, to oarboats from paddleboats propelled by crews of passengers prone to periodic panic. For extra “punching power”, oarboats normally have a pair of paddlers up front.
