Hello smile I got a raft last summer so I'm selling my cat. Here's the specs:

2 - 12' x 22" two chamber tubes
NRS frame
2 piece full coverage mesh floor
Front high-back padded folding swivel seat
Front casting brace
Low back rower's seat
3 Carlisle 2 piece oars, blades, sleeves, and oar stops/rights, with one tethered to the right tube as a spare
Rod rack for 6 rods
2 rod holders for plug fishing
Wrap around anchor system with cleat, rope, and anchor.
Custom built marine plywood storage rack for the flat narrow tackle boxes. Holds at least 6.
Foot pump
A couple other bells and whistles like a frame adjustment wrench, plier pockets and line cutters on a lanyard...

This boat is set up to Fish. I've rowed it down almost every floatable mile of every river on the OP. Including some Class IV and IV+ sections.... It's twin was taken down the Grand Canyon. Boat is located in Forks, no trailer but can be broken down for transport if necessary. It's seen plenty of water, and some wear and tear shows, but the tubes are rock solid as is the frame, and I wouldn't hesitate to take it anywhere, anytime.

Replacement value at least $3600. Asking $1800, firm. Thanks for looking. smile

Besides this thread or PM's I can be reached at 360.477.2492 or bretlowe@westsideguide.com.

Here's a picture of it in action, I will take more pictures later in the week if need be.

If I didn't already have a two man boat, I'd consider it...the modular set up of the NRS frame is pretty trick.

Fish on...

I'd put NRS on my "most trusted" companies list. Their shtuff is bombproof.

Man this is a GREAT deal Bret, getting a high quality one man toon will run ya $2000+ and to get a 2 man setup for under 2k is a steal...when I win at the World Series of Poker next week that boat is mine:)

Thanks guys, I've had a couple calls on it and it's sounding like it won't last long at this price.

Good luck Keith!

Sorry Bret, I came REALLY close to banking some big bucks at the World Series but had to settle for lower prize money. One bad beat away from owning that Cat but someone will be damn happy with it...cheers

Unreal that this thing hasn't sold. Absolutely unbeatable for that price.

TTT

There's going to be salmon everywhere this fall folks, and with the low water conditions we're experiencing and expecting this is the perfect boat to get after them.

Interested, have a few ?'s

How does it row?

How does it handle being anchored in faster moving water?

What's the warranty on the tubes?

it doesn't row as well as a driftboat, but i caught hundreds of fish out of it pulling plugs.

as for anchoring, it's pretty similar to a raft. limited to slow to medium current speeds. i never reallyfound that to be an issue, but ymmv.

the warranty on the tubes is expired. if you get a hole they are easy to patch, and the patches are stronger than the rest of the tube so it's not really a big deal.

thanks for looking, feel free to call me if you have any more questions
