frame

Title says all. Looking to upgrade from my Scadden shit storm cat. I fish in CO so I'm thinking 14' and any boat that hasn't been totally put through the ringer - been there with the Scadden. I don't necessarily need a trailer. I'll need a frame as well - 3 man fisherman frame. But let me see...

Down River Equipment (DRE) rear hoop with swivel seat frame attachment. Fits a 14' raft. Includes anchor line and all attachments (with homemade anchor, not pictured). Seat has cup holder. Like new, used only a handful of times. It's ~46" wide x 3.5' long (at short part of frame attachment)...

Hey folks, I am looking for advice on a new setup for the 2021 rafting season. Just to provide background, I typically run III+ to IV+ rivers. My current boat is a Hyside Max 12 with a simple rowing frame. For about 75% of my trips, I am the only person in the boat. So far, the Max 12 has been...

Maravia Spider with custom frame, oars, three thwarts, paddles, etc. in excellent condition. Always stored indoors. Manufactured in about 2000. No patches. No problems. It’s a fantastic boat but I need more room for family trips. Located in Portland, Oregon. $3800. This is a highly maneuverable...

Hello! I am a complete neophyte when it comes to rafting and rafting gear but have recently been tasked with assembling a WINGS Inflatable cataraft (frame provenance unknown) that my employer had stashed in a storage unit. With much trial and error, I've managed to work out the general logic of...

So, I am sure this has been asked before but I can't easily find the threads... We just picked up a used 16ft nrs boat and need to outfit it. Likely going with a 4 bay, diamond plated, double rail rig. Getting the basic setup; drop bag bay in front with table cover, dry box, cooler, captains...

Hey Folks! Picking up an Aire Lion 16' this spring. Dreaming about the frame... To anyone who has one, how wide is the actual storage between tubes? Not the total width of the frame, but the width into which one can cram coolers, dry boxes, drop box, rocket boxes, water containers, etc.? I'm...

So I am planning out a frame for my new raft, and want to know if the rounded corners are much nicer? stronger? lighter? squeaky? etc. my last frame was a fitting frame, which worked fine, but I do like the look of the rounded frame corners. Are they worth the cost? (extra $160 to the frame)...

I was wondering if anybody has used a lawn mower seat as the seat for their frame? The NRS ones are great, but just a bit out of my league right now. Mounting the seat wouldn't be a problem. I'd want to try to find a white or yellow or any color that is not black. But I'm curious if it...

Hi All, I'm looking into frames for a new Super Puma. I like simple, two bay (sit on drybox or cooler, drybox/cooler/short table up front). NRS lists a max width of 48" for the frame, which makes the Bighorn I the only option from NRS. But, like I said, I'd rather have two bays, than the one...

Due to popular demand, I ended up making some high quality raft frame parts. For everyone's convenience I put up a store on our website, from which all this stuff can be ordered directly. There have been lively discussions in the Gear Forum about this stuff, but I figured I should throw the...

Based on some postings I've recently read on the internet, as well as this website, I have decided to build my own raft frame. It will be going in a 14 ft.'er, 60" interior. I want to haul a drybox under my ass, and the cooler up front, with a pad ontop for seating. A foot bar, Maybe a double...

I've looked at what has been posted here and on other threads and now I have placed an order for a bunch of hollaender elbows and aluminum schedule 40 1" ID tubing. I'm designing a frame to fit around a Yeti Sherpa 100 cooler. Fancy bendy parts from Sid's ( who was very helpful and...

My wife and I float arctic Alaska rivers each Fall. We use an Ally pack canoe. Which we love. But lately we have an interest in some rivers with some class III stretches. Namely, some rivers in ANWR and Gates of the Arctic. I thought it best to buy a raft. We got a custom made Sotar from the...
