One man says his brother spent 120 hours building the raft. Jim Rothrock says him and his brother participated last year, but today, they're expecting the boat to have more power.
"We've but a fire pump off a brush rig on here and we can pump 80 gallons of water a minute at 100 pounds, and we intend to clean them all up."
