Another Great NRS Raft
This is a superb raft, like all of NRS' rafts. I purchased this raft as it's a little narrower than other rafts and is better for narrow/technical rivers.

Great Boat
We do commercial trips in both Alaska & Idaho. I brought to Alaska last summer to add to the fleet. 1st trip a 7 day helicopter into headwaters of a tiny creek. I ran it as a gear boat for a group of 9. I carried 1200#'s on this raft and was drawing about 2"'s of water with the weight dispersed well. I've also ran the salmon river in Idaho at 55K cfs in this raft. Great boat!! It's a little heavier than the older e-series, maybe 8#'s from one of my 2008 models. But draws less water!

friends are jealous
Class four solo rowing
Truly sweet boat
Friends are jealous
So, the shy thing is when its rolled up, a thwart valve pushes through the floor and has created a leak in the floor. plugging the floor prv helps, but i feel this could be corrected
