I think the inversion and inflation would be more possible. Getting the load balanced would (imo) be simpler by putting a little air in each side than partially pumping out a swamped shell. Never mind that you might be fighting in-flow over the gunnels.

Lashing them to a couple cross members or straps, under the "victim" would help spread the load, either way. It sounds like they only need a few inches clearances to make the escape.

dmjr, maybe you should should check with MistyBlue to see if there are any of those barrels left.
