NRS E-136 Self-Bailing Raft
$6,600.00
Product Details
The 13'6" NRS E-136 plays like a 13' boat and works like a 14' boat. Its aggressive rocker and wide stance make it fun but dependable in the rapids. Great for fishing, overnights and just seeking thrills.- 20" tubes and a 6'6" width make the E-136 super stable, while a 30" rocker makes it ride over waves like a playboat.
- Will accommodate 6-8 paddlers with optional third thwart.
- Heavy-duty Pennel Orca® material is super abrasion, chemical and UV-resistant for unmatched durability.
- Side tubes and floor are reinforced to armor the raft in low water and provide additional protection against the wear and tear of boulders and beaches.
- Four main tube air chambers give you extra security in emergency situations.
- Self-bailing floor with quick-draining holes allows you to leave the bucket at home.
- 14 2" D-rings and 6 handles make rigging and launching the E-136 a snap.
- Trouble-free Leafield™ C7 Valves ensure easy inflation/deflation of the tubes, thwarts and floor, and the Leafield A6 Pressure Relief Valve protects the floor.
- The NRS BAT (Batten Attachment Thwart system) lets you easily add or remove thwarts to accommodate paddlers or a rowing frame.
- Built outfitter tough, this may be the last raft the private boater will ever need to buy.
- 10-year retail warranty, 6-year commercial.

Fantastic boat
I bought this boat used from NRS a few years ago, I can't tell you how pleased I've been. It moves quickly on the water but for 2 people on a multi-day trip it can get very crowded. Hopefully my grandkids will fight over who inherits it.

the porsche of rafts
I love this boat, i have owned it for a year and it has seen westwater canyon 10+ times, cataract canyon, and the Grand Canon (21,000cfs). So far she has stayed up-right for me. it has performed wonderfully on single day trips as well as long trips. took it down cataract canon in three days while supporting a kayaker. I took this boat on a 22 day December grand canon trip (also supporting a kayaker) and the boat was full but not overloaded. i would also like to mention that i did not have to add air the entire 22 days.I have heard people complain about the weight of this boat, but i blame it on extra durability, i purchased the boat from a company that went under, it has never needed a patch and holds air like a champ, despite its age (6+ years). over all this boat has exceeded my expectations and helped me become a better boater.

Big Little raft
This is my favorite boat! It has more rocker than the E-140 and takes on giant waves and holes. Yet it's nimble enough to spin on a dime. It's much more manuverable than a typical 14 footer, yet carries almost as much. I've taken it on numerous camping trips of 3-5 days with a passenger, although you need to pack light for longer trips. It's a bit crowded and sluggish with 6 people (or more. I've had 7), but with 4-5 it paddles fast.
