This boat is at Down River Equipment's Raftopia boat swap, April 11th, 2026 in Wheat Ridge, CO!
Check out all boats at RaftopiaI am looking to trade my Jack's Plastic Welding Rescue Culebra for a larger boat.
I am the third owner of this JPW cataraft. Its a sweet boat to r2 or you can easily throw a small frame on it to row (RMR storm, Maravia Lil Wave, etc width frames fit perfectly). Originally owned by the Summit County CO rescue squad hence the "RESCUE" on the side. No leaks and only cosmetic scuffs, no structural issues at all. Two, ~2 inch diameter patches are on the front end of each main tube and both hold air without issue.
I made a wooden back deck for gear and I also have a mesh zippered drop bag as well. The frame is not included.
Overall great boat, and I would be happy to keep it. However, I need a larger boat for passengers and gear. Ideally, I would trade this for a 13-16 ft "round" regular raft. I would also trade it for a larger standard cataraft. It'll be at Raftopia this weekend.
