Great opportunity to acquire a classic AIRE quad-tube Cougar cataraft in excellent condition. 

AIRE's continuous panel design allows for a smoother transition in the bow and stern rise for great handling with a length at waterline of just over 11 ft. for each 18" diameter tube. These are the smallest diameter tubes in the big cat market and their low profile gives the boat great performance in heavy headwinds, which tend to push larger boats around on the water. The quadcatt has significantly less drag. Great for shallow water trips because the draft of the boat doesn't go as deep as with a single tube cat when you start loading it up. It excels in big water like the Grand, Hells Canyon, Middle Fork, and Salmon....which it has. Great gear hauler for a captain and two passengers. As recommended at quadcatt.com, the boat is set up with the captain in front for better maneuverability and DRY passengers in back. Captain stays dry with dry bag supported up front on custom frame extensions and the view in big water is amazing!

I am the 3rd owner. Always stored protected and 303'd after every trip. No leaks, stays tight for days and had new bladder and zippers installed by AIRE in 2017. Custom trailer allows for one-man drop and take-out with tilt bed, bed rollers, and custom 12V electric power winch. The boat has near 270° of decking space behind the captains seat.
