Lol,you guys where just not as adventurous or as crazy as i when you where young.
lethfisher,The way i would use a boat was to wade out and sit down in 2-3 feet of water with my feet on the rocks i would walk my way down stream and fish,and get out and walk around the shallows or fast corner sweeps.So i guess its not really floating it's more like walk and wade except you get to sit.
