You take your boat to devil’s hole? You need some serious power to get past those rapids…kinda dangerous dont you think?

I think you’re confusing devils hole with the whirlpool. Devils hole is the area just past the American side power project discharge. Other than having to make a little zig-zag to get between the whitewater from the two discharges it’s not bad at all if you’re comfortable with your boat.
The whirlpool on the other hand, that’s 100% crazy in anything but a jet boat. I’ve only known one person to go all the way up there, and he did it in his 5.0 V8 powered 19 foot bowrider. He only did it once, and said he’d NEVER do it again. This same guy has taken an intertube and ridden from the Maid of the mist launch all the way to Lewiston, to give you an idea of his “1-10 crazy scale”. He said from the whirlpool to Lewiston is fun, and he’s done that lots of times, but that he almost died several times on the one trip he did from the Maid of the Mist to the whirlpool.
