	McKenzie River dory - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		McKenzie dories are specialized to run rapids on rivers, and first appeared on the McKenzie River in Oregon in the mid-20th century.
		Unlike the McKenzie boats, the Rogue River dories are completely flat on the bottom with upward rakes under the prow and the stern.
		River dories are mainly used by fishermen who wish for more control of their boat than that which a rubber raft provides.
