AIRE 143R Self-Bailing Raft - The 143R Self-Bailing Raft by AIRE is a stable paddle boat for taking on big waves and a responsive row boat for multi-day expeditions. Part of AIRE's "Round" series, it is their best, most stable all-around whitewater boat that is ready to run big water. The round design, with its large tube diameters and long water lines, offers maximum stability and stiffness and makes it a great choice for groups and gear on big rivers. Set it up with an oar frame (sold separately) for extended trips, or occasionally run as a paddle raft. The welded PVC outer shell seams and the internal urethane bladders are the foundation of this highly durable self-bailing raft, and the lace-in floor bails water quickly for a safe ride. The zippered tubes allow for easy access to the bladders in case repairs are needed. 14 D-rings offer plenty of room for gear tie-down, and four handles make for easy carrying. Thwarts not included. The AIRE 143R Self-Bailing Raft is a great all around size and design for those boaters out there who need one raft to do it all.
