Fishing/Multi Day Custom Raft Frame pt4

The DIY raft frame is complete! A very functional set up for multi day whitewater rafting trips to carry all your overnight gear like dry bags, kitchen boxs, rocket boxes, groover, etc. Really fun to pack up a small boat like the 13ft Aire 130e for multi day trips. Still very nimble even when loaded down. Took the family on our local 1 night float to test everything out. Stay tuned for the next video covering how the frame is set up for fishing!

ya a multi day loadout vid would be sweet. I'm going to make a center mount and multi day frame pretty soon and your vids are really helpful, thanks. You got the only diy frame builds on youtube!

How many days/what climate/time of year?

This series has been awesome to watch as I’m thinking about doing my own frame build. How does the 1” steel pipe you used compare to the NRS aluminum frame in terms of strength and weight? .25” wall right?

Thanks! In one of my other videos (rmr phatcat frame build) I touch on the differences I see. All depends on design but actually comparable. I think there's a limit though. Small stern frame, steel is great. Big beefy multi day frame aluminum seems better. In an upcoming video I'll show specific differences as I have recently switched to an aluminum nrs frame to try it out. I weighed this frame and will weigh my new one to make direct comparison.
