Whether you're running a weekend recreational float, a multi-day camping trip, or setting up a frame-rig for guided commercial runs, this raft is engineered to take the hit. Reinforced where it counts, light enough to pack and strap to a car roof, and priced significantly below the comparable 12 foot rafts in the industry. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"margin: 6.0pt 0in 2.0pt 0in;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 128, 0);\"\u003e\u003cb style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;\"\u003eSelf-Bailing Drop-Stitch Air Floor:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 5.0pt;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe removable 'Sport DS Curve' drop-stitch air floor is the defining feature of this raft. It inflates to a rigid 6-inch floor and self-bails automatically — water that enters from rapids drains through without pooling. Unlike closed-floor rafts that collect water and add dangerous weight in heavy rapids, the self-bailing design keeps you light and in control. The floor is removable for flat-water or lake use when self-bailing is not needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"margin: 6.0pt 0in 2.0pt 0in;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 128, 0);\"\u003e\u003cb style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;\"\u003e1.2mm PVC Bottom | Double-Layered Chafers:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 5.0pt;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eMain tubes and thwarts use .9mm heat-welded PVC. The bottom runs 1.2mm — measurably thicker than competitors who use .9mm throughout. Double-layered frame chafers protect the tube walls where a rowing frame makes contact, preventing abrasion wear over seasons of use. Top and bottom chafers run .9mm. UV-resistant, oil-stain-resistant, and built to take repeated impacts from rocks, logs, and submerged obstacles without delaminating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"margin: 6.0pt 0in 2.0pt 0in;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 128, 0);\"\u003e\u003cb style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;\"\u003eFrame-Rig Ready | Three Thwart Capacity:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 5.0pt;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eDesigned for both recreational paddle setups and full frame-rig configurations. The raft accepts up to three thwarts (two inflatable thwarts included). Interior D-rings provide anchor points for gear straps, cooler tie-downs, and frame feet. Exterior D-rings support a lifeline rope running the perimeter — standard safety equipment for Class III and above.
