Selling my NRS Approach 138 Three-Person Fishing Raft Package. I purchased it brand new last summer and have only had it on the water for two days. It is in practically new condition.

The Approach 138 retails for $7,395 and is currently BACKORDERED through NRS.

This is an awesome fishing raft, and I'm genuinely a little sad to sell it. The only reason I'm selling is that I'm traveling with my RV and need something I can break down into a smaller package and store more easily. I'm switching to a Flycraft Guide specifically for the portability.

If portability weren't such an important part of my setup, I'd keep the NRS.

CONDITION

This raft has been exceptionally well cared for:

• Purchased new last summer

• Only floated for two days

• Practically new condition

• Never stored outside

• Always stored indoors in my garage

Buyers are welcome to come see and inspect the raft in person.

LOCAL PICKUP ONLY — NO SHIPPING

Due to the size and weight of the complete raft and frame, I will not ship it. Local pickup only.

Serious buyers are welcome to come see the raft, look everything over, and inspect its condition in person before purchasing.

This really is a fantastic fishing raft. It's stable, thoughtfully designed, extremely well built, and provides a legitimate fishing platform for three people.

I'm only selling because RV travel has changed my priorities and I need something that's easier to break down and store. Otherwise, I'd be keeping it.
