I would NOT even consider going in a raft on the main body of CJ with oars only as I think you suggested. With a motor, even an electric you might do okay against a wind. I'd have to try it out and see it in action before I could say how I really felt about it. Based on the experience I have had with both rafts and electric motors (but never together) my instincts tell me it wouldn't push you against a good strong wind.
One thing about CJ is that you can go from relatively calm to gale force winds in just a few minutes. Rafts don't travel against a wind very well........
Why not get an inflatable and a gas motor? I think you'd be a lot better served.
On most days you'd do just fine, I'm fairly certain, but it only takes that one day........ to totally make you regret it.
