Be sure to use a Type II boat. Those rapids above Waddington would be murder on a VII. (The St. Lawrence seaway was dug out in the 50's and the dams were installed so the ocean-going ships could make the trek up the inland waterway.)

Chris Craft even made a special St. Lawrence version of their famous wooden boats to run the rapids that was really popular with the rum runners of prohibition . It had the motor up forward and the cockpit aft so that the waves breaking over the bow would not scuttle the boat.
