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\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSelf-Bailing Drop-Stitch Air Floor:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\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\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1.2mm PVC Bottom | Double-Layered Chafers:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\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\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrame-Rig Ready | Three Thwart Capacity:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\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. Side tube length specs are included in the product specs for frame builders: 66 inches first seam to first seam, 90 inches second seam to second seam, 98 inches chafer length.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e18-Inch Tubes | 12 ft x 6'5\" Beam:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e18-inch tube diameter provides the tube volume and secondary stability needed for aggressive whitewater. The 12-foot by 6-foot-5-inch platform gives enough interior space for a 4-6 person crew with gear, while the rolled pack size of 43 x 29 x 17 inches fits in a truck bed, on a car roof rack, or strapped to a river shuttle vehicle.
