description

First off it is a bucket boat and you will like it even though people seem to not like bucket boats anymore. Once upon a time that’s all you could buy. Because the floor is light, the deflated 13 foot boat can be carried by one Strong person. Especially if you have an NRS bag. I believe the rubber is PVC and manufactured in 1992. Looked up the boat (Eclipse) a few articles say it shouldn’t still exist, but it does and is running strong and found others have the same experience so maybe they were manufactured in a different plant. Valves are the old military style fill valves. The raft holds air over 24 hours and probably forever. 4 independent sections and one non-removable thwart that all hold air independently. No leaks. Someone did remove (cut) one of the thwarts to out to make room for the cooler (not included).The frame is custom and has been professionally welded and pieced together with thought and creativity from a cat-a-raft center section (58”W x 72”L). The front and back casting platforms (26.5”-L) are textured painted plywood attached aluminum framed floors for a very stable feel and easy to be confident in casting standing up. There are a mix of new and old NRS low pro connections.. All aluminum frame.. Fancy cupholders on swivel seats and line basket for line management on the front.. Older Carlisle oars (9 foot). Nice NRS 8 inch towers.. Cheap oar rights that work fine but I like the brass cobra ones and took them off for my new rig and replaced them with these which are stainless steel to sell it, but still have a river fisherman ready raft. I’m not selling the cooler cause I need it for my new rig as well. You literally could be on the water fishing tomorrow. For $2500 (Firm).. What are you waiting for?
