If you are fishing rivers, I agree on a Drift Boat all the way. With that in mind, I never gave much thought to using a MOTOR on the river, more a drift. But the Jet would be my choice in that case.
We have a 14' deep haul aluminum boat that was purchase originally because of the Snake River. We also had a Nissan 5 hp on it plus Minn Kota 40. The Minn pushed the boat as well as the Nissan. We recently traded that Nissan for a 9.9 Honda. I do feel a bigger motor is needed specially on a river.
