guys on wainono were pushing thier punts along with the electric trolling motors...slightly faster and hell of a lot easier than rowing
as to gravel bottom rivers..there are SOME jet units that go on bum of normal outboard..seems you need a fair bit of hp to drive them at any pace and unsure of availability and cost

You mean like these?

Last weeks fun: Go anywhere these things. 4.7m long, 50hp, weighs 150kgs inc motor. Uses about 8L/hr Carry up to 800kgs.
