I ordered a single bay center frame for my 14’ raft (similar to an NRS Longhorn frame) from riverboat works in Salida but Dave the employee has repeatedly told me it’s a bad idea and tried to talk me out of it. I just want to be able to take short half day trips down pinnacle and the gorge...

In search of a 12-14 foot self bailing raft. Located in Salida but willing to travel to anywhere in Colorado, Wyoming, Idaho, Oregon, Washington, or Northern California. Motivated to buy. Thank you in advance.
