Your go-to marketplace for buying and selling small boats and other specialty watercraft
Selling my awesome one man Catchercraft Freestone.
It is ~9ft long and has a full “deluxe” frame welded in North Bend, WA. The rubber is made by Jacks Plastics in New Mexico, a legendary rafting company. The lack of floor enables you to stand in the water while the boat stay around you.
It appears Catchercraft no longer makes this particular line of boats.
It handles like a dream and it white-water capable. I have only used it on the Yakima river but it can certainly handle much heavier water.
The frame includes a NRS low back seat, NRS oar locks and spots to secure three rods. The raft itself has a cargo net behind the seat for your stuff and had enough room for an overnight trip I did alone.
There are several comparable floor-less 1man options on the market but all rely on pins for the oars and none include such a beefy frame.
I transported this in the back of my truck, allowing me to float sections of the river without a trailer!
