Rocky Mountain Rafts Raft with RecreTec Cargo Frame

This setup is specifically engineered for multi-day expeditions. The 4-bay RecreTec cargo frame provides ample space to secure coolers, dry boxes, and overnight gear, making it a robust platform for extended river trips.

The raft uses 44-ounce, 3000-denier RockShield PVC, which is significantly thicker and more abrasion-resistant than the material found on many recreational rafts. It is designed to handle the abuse of rocky riverbeds and technical whitewater without compromising structural integrity.

Yes, the self-bailing floor is designed to drain water rapidly even when the raft is weighted down. Because the floor is integrated into the raft's construction, it maintains its drainage performance regardless of how much cargo you are hauling.

The frame is powder-coated for corrosion resistance, so it requires minimal maintenance beyond a fresh water rinse after trips, especially if you are rowing in silty or sandy water. Periodically check the tension on the straps and ensure the frame bolts remain tight before launching.

The RecreTec frame system is modular, allowing you to adjust the position of the rowing bay to accommodate different body types or weight distributions. You can shift the frame components along the side rails to dial in your preferred rowing geometry.

The 10-foot Sawyer Polecat oars with Duramax blades are a reliable, industry-standard choice for this size raft. They offer the right balance of flex and durability for navigating technical rapids and maneuvering a fully loaded boat.
