Anyone know of outboard motor restrictions on rivers? I cannot locate any info online...
Passaic? Raritan? Millstone? 9.9 allowed?
I know the Del/Rar canal is electric only but how about the above rivers?

I've seen guys rip passed my kayak on Wave Runners on the Passaic, as well as guys with 50hp+ outboards. Not sure I would do it myself, too many sandbars and laydowns to mess things up.

yeah, me neither, there's always new trees in the water, etc. i usually keep it slow and the motor unlocked so it can go up and over if i hit something. most of the guys who are serious about river boating run jets instead of propellers. for them it's just up and over any obstructions at WOT.
anybody familiar with the passaic knows of wheeler, writer for weird nj, etc. here he gets a ride along in through prime pike territory. @40 mph... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oPAqg9pYXD8
