RedactedNarrative: Two inflatable 13' boats with paddles and type V PFD's were rented by the family to run the Salmon river from Sunbeam to Torry's boat ramp.  The family had boated this section for 9-years every summer and ran this section twice that day.  They were on the third run of the day when the incident occurred.  At MP 207.6 boat #1 was stuck on a rock.  Boat #2 attempted to bump the first boat off the rock and in the process wrapped on a rock sticking out of the water approximately 4 feet just below boat #1.  Boat #1 was clear and proceeded down the river.  The bow line entangled with 9-year old boy's foot and pulled him under water.  The father attempted to free the boy three times (approximate time of 10 minutes) before finally freeing the boy from the tangled rope.  The father got the boy to shore and with the hlp of other boaters that happened along began CPR.  The boy began breathing after 17 minutes of CPR.  Stanley ambulance responded, treated the patient and transferred to St Al's in Boise by Life Flight.
