I posted on here a week or so ago, asking about a good raft for my wife and I moving out to CO in June. I came upon this deal for sale locally and would just like some opinions. Thanks!
Comprehensive raft package for sale. This kit was carefully and meticulously assembled for floating the big western rivers in Colorado, Utah, and Idaho. This DRE pro series raft is made for outfitters with larger tubes, reinforced wear areas, and additional d-rings - features not included on the lower-end recreational models. The raft has been inflated, checked, and treated with 303 protectant annually. The raft has been stored in a cool, dry, indoor room. The raft and kit are in very good condition - only cosmetic stuff from normal use. While the raft is clean from treatments, the components still show some orange Utah silt. This silt is included free of charge.
The raft comes kitted out for multi-day camping trips or you can install the thwarts and use it for paddling whitewater with a 6 person team (paddles included). The oar frame and oars are balanced and a joy to pilot. This thing is dialed.
This kit was a big investment and it pains us deeply to sell it. We moved to St. Paul Minnesota from Denver and we now pursue different recreational opportunities. This raft package should not sit in storage. Located in Eagan, MN near the MN Zoo.

Any advice, opinions, thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
