Description:
A 14-foot raft that rows a gear load or runs a paddle crew. The Tributary 14 HD Self-Bailing Raft (NRS item 87106.04) from AIRE is big enough for an oar frame and the gear for longer trips, yet nimble enough for a crew paddling in rhythm. Guide services, outfitters and river teams get one boat for hauling and for paddle training. See all of our rescue boats and boards.
Features
- 20 inch tubes and a 6 ft 10 inch width: diminishing to 18"/18" at the ends.
