I do not use a drift boat. But I think that at least the speed of the surface is different at different areas of the water. Near the banks the speed is usually lower than in the middle of the current. Look at your flyline in mooving water and you see it.

This summer I acquired a pontoon/kickboat. I have not had it on "moving water" as yet, but will be fishing the Paluxy River next month.
My question is this.
When drifting in/on a watercraft, does the flyline and the watercraft drift at the same rate of speed? Obviously (or at least I assume) if you are using some sort of drag device to slow the drift speed of the watercraft, it would drift a a slower pace than the flyline, but what about when the boat is unhindered?
I know this may be a little off the wall, but I would like to know what to expect before I get to the river.
Thanks a bunch.
