Is it possible to steer a 40-ft. boat with a tiller on a river with a strong current?

Question:
or would a more mechanized steering system be required? It is a cargo boat.

Upstream or down? Downstream as long as you have headway(You must be going faster than the current) Upstream of course as you can't without.

I would like to know something about ROOKIE BOATS OF MISSISSIPPI. PLEASE ADVISE?

My friends and I have a custom made raft that we steer with a tiller. We all so take 4 oars and 2 - 4 long poles with us to help with the propulsion, though 90% of the time we just lay back lazily steering with the tiller. It is made out of the big 30 gallon blue plastic barrels with plywood decking. We throw a keg, 2 coolers, a grill and about 6 - 10 people on it and have no problems steering it down the river. The river is the Susquehanna and it normally flows at 4 -10 mph depending on its level. Although our raft is only about 20 feet long and 8 feet wide, I don't foresee you having any problems. The only thing that I might worry about is that when the water is to shallow to float we all get off and carry the raft, we never had to carry it more than a couple hundred yards, but if it were 40 feet and full of cargo it may be a problem? Hope this helps, good luck.

Yes. The 40 foot Bay boats here on the Chesapeake use a tiller for working. These boats can be loaded with clams, fish, oysters, fish, and etc.
