Looking to buy a Sevylor 2-man raft. Needs to be intact, still hold air, and float my butt down a large river in Canadia in a month.

New, these floating death traps are only $40-$60.

If you've got this raft, or something similar that's taking up space in your garage, or you just don't have a need for it any more, let me know.

This is the type of thing I need:

Try these...



...with a pair of these...

Trust me - I have.

They seem safer than the raft idea......

PS. About Water Polo - Once you put the water wings on the horse, how do you keep it from flipping upside down?

Maybe someone has a partial roll of TP they could sell you too? I'd barely trust a new one, much less a used one. And if you do get a new one, blow it up before hand and let the kids bounce around on it in the living room for a few days. PVC sucks, is prone to manufacturing problems, and deteriorates rapidly. This list price on the link is only $25.99.

Ok. I'll test it on Hell's Half Mile before I go.

If I get up north, can I ho a ride in that thing?

On a somewhat related topic, Coley was going off about "Pack Rafts" when I was recently up in AK. Nothing but good reviews from what I've heard. Then again, it is about $900 more than the Sevy.

Hell yes! I'll even row...or at least kick with those cool yellow flippers.

I was going to offer to drive up Stam's raft for him, but he went and sold it on me....

What dates do you need a boat for? Looks like the 2-man tooner I share with Coley might be up there around then?

I'll be on the water fishing sep 21-25. IE, the M-F. Weekends on both sides are my travel days.

Possibly passing you on your way out of there, projected travel days in 26-27. I may bag out at the last miniute, depends on some details around the old homestead.

pretty cool little set up.


Personally think the Sevelor is a waste of money, but if it works for CC and OP it must be ok.

why not just get a couple inter tubes and a sheet of plywood

The fact that you can roll them up and stick em' in a back pack for a long hike in to spots that fish better from another side of the river....and for 25 bucks...they fit the bill! In case one pops, buy 2!

I think this would better suit you

Good idea SZ!

Hey Bret, I'll give ya $100 for it. That's $75 more than I really wanted to pay, but for you since you're a good guy, I'd be willing to do that.

I know you're looking to go light weight but I have a new Watermaster Kodiak you could use if you'd like. No strings. just get it back to me. Perfec boat for those waters. Let me know.

I'm sure your "generosity" will return to you tenfold.

Actually, I do wish I could buy it. It is a kick ass raft.

Although, I think with this upcoming shoulder surgery in October, my rowing days are numbered this fall and winter.

Yeah, but that also means my ho'in days are also going down the crapper, too.

Can't do a whole lot when you have one arm that is immobilized for 6 weeks.

Uncool!!!!

No real choice. My shoulder is way messed up.

Have you tried acupuncture yet?

I have a shoulder that seems to be getting progressively worse too, but surgery bugs the crap outta me.

Parker, iffin you got a payment plan n good price let me know;)

Sorry to hear about your shoulder man. That's one of my worst nightmares....

+1

Hit us up on a report/review of that thing after you've spent some time with it. I'd be curious.

I have one of those back backing rafts made by Sevylor. I fished out of it once. It scares me. I almost knifed it and tossed it in the GARBAGE. Parker, if you want it it's yours, still intact and guaranteed to hold air.

Sam

ps. Do I need you to sign a waver to release me from any and all liability

Seriously Parker, I'd take wntrrn up on the Kodiak deal. Those things are really light,compact and prolly the #1 choice of most up where you want to take it!

Did a bunch of research recently on the Watermaster and it is THE Bomb for lightweight, whitewater quality rafting. The reviews are stellar although it is not cheap at all...the gear capacity is very high and rated for Class 3/4 if I remember right. Parker would definately look better with the waterwings vs. the watermaster though.

Already did.



Good to have you back, Keith! I think.....

You can still fetch beer and bait, right?

Parker, Good, you went with a WM. Hope you recover from your shoulder surgery quickly.

In the garbage my raft goes.

It's yours if you want it. And, I'm not worried at all about getting it back with a few scuffs on it. I tend to use my gear and would hope someone else would put it to good use also. I have the high volume pump you hook up to a car battery but you might want to try and find a small version of the manual K-pump 'cause you do need to top it off with some extra air.

I'll give you a call tomorrow afternoon. Gonna be on the water in the early am fishing, but will be home late morning.

Might be a bit high priced for you but here's one on craigslist:

Better be able to or the ho'n ride days are numbered until he can

Parker,

Glad to see Winterrun has you covered. I was also gonna' offer to give you my Sevelor that I took backpacking once, or alternatively, let you borrow my Watermaster. Grizzly tho, not the Kodiak. BTW, WM is way mo' betta' on the river than any Sevelor.
