that water will suck the life out of you when it's that cold. Did get through all your layers? I once feel in rocky river whole trout fishing but lucky the coat I was wearing blocked all the water on my upper part. Only my pants got wet.

Hi just wondering your thoughts on durability. How long have you had it and do you think it’s gonna hold up for a long time if taken care of?

For sure it's easier to handle the fish

It was 40 degrees that morning, these still allow my hand to keep the heat in, but still allow me to be able to tie on knots.
@bobowhite11Ай бұрын
That's a fact,,, it was freezing that day. Most Anglers were calling it early as it was slow fishing. But The gloves made me stay and I ended up with a full limit that day. I just had to move and find them down river a mile or so.

Man absolutely love the setup, you're a impressive dude! I'm thinking about buying this raft. To me it appears to be basically the same raft as the flycraft that sells for over 4k!

Thank you for the compliment. Third year and have had not 1 issue. From skinny water to Lake Erie she has had many miles under her.

What shaft length is your Honda outboard?

Short shaft. Works like a charm, no need for the long shaft.

What oars and length do you use, just got the rowing frame for my 13' HD kaboat and looking for recommendations.
@bobowhite114 ай бұрын
I use 8 footers. But here is the formula to get the exact length correct the 1st time! Measure the distance between BOTH oar sockets. Divide this # by 2, and then add 2 to this number. This Sum will tell you your ''Inboard Loom Length''. Take this Inboard Loom Length and Multiply it by 25, then Divide this by 7. The Sum will be the ...''Appropriate Oar length'' in inches for your Loom Length.

@@bobowhite11 thanks! I used a similar calculation but came up w 7' and it seemed too short because the raft sits high in the water. I came up w 7.9' and that is more like it 👍

Also wondering how you bent the aluminum and am very interested in the blue prints if you have them
@bobowhite114 ай бұрын
I started with PVC Pipe. Heating a 4 foot piece up with a heat gun. Then simply "hand bending" it, while placing it on the boat. After bending it I made the entire aft frame and rack out of PVC. Once I was happy I took it all apart and measured everything including the ANGLE OF THE BEND. IT IS 23.5 DEGREES, AND CAN VERY FROM 22 TO 25 AND WORK FINE. .

Got the same raft this year and plan to add a similar 3rd seat set up so thanks for the video. The raft served me well this summer with lower than usual water here in Mn. Great job, would love to see a clip of it on the water fully loaded though!

Hey awesome video. I’ve been debating between this raft and a Bris 13’. Have you taken this boat down a river yet? I’m curious how well it handles/ floats with a 3rd person and the extra gear and larger frame. I saw online it’s recommended for 2 people or 650lbs. I don’t plan on taking more than 3 people no matter which raft I choose, but I also don’t want it to be a struggle to row or sit too low in the water when fully loaded. Building a frame and adding accessories will be a winter project for me so trying to get this all sorted out pretty soon so I have something to do! I would greatly appreciate your insight. Seriously great video and amazing work my friend.
