A dynamic rope is not recommended for Z-drag systems. A rope such as the one
you described is meant to hold falls for a lead climber. It has a limited
number of "falls" for a life expectency. Since the Mammut rope you described
is not intended for river rescue, it will perform poorly and likely with a
short life expectency. A rope used in a z-drag should be designed to hold
"heavy" loads for a long period of time, not a sudden heavy load for a short
period of time asiin a "shock" situation.

Another drawback that I find is that this rope will likely hold water and
become very heavy--something I would not want in my boat!

I am concerned that using a dynamic line like a Mammut 11mm for z-drags will
over some unkown period of time result in a failure of the rope with the
potential for injury--especially if used in a boat recovery under a heavy load
(eg: 12 mph current creating an average total force of water on a swamped boat
of
of 2688 pounds--without accounting for friction on the "pinning object").
