Having had the privilege to float four trips with you over the last two years, I can say this stealth craft boat is super comfortable to ride in, fish in and fly cast in, already Looking at calendar for next years trips!

[@HaightsWanderings]

@Jim D Heck yeah, man! Thanks, Jim!

[@johnporter9597]

Heck yeah man, being a Hooligan owner myself, I love the way you have yours set up. Thanks for doing the video and sharing with us. Mine has the single drain plug and my casting braces are fiberglass like their fiberglass drifters have.

[@HaightsWanderings]

@John Porter Right on! I am glad you find this interesting. I love that raft so much. I can't wait to get back out this spring! :)

[@shanelowe3902]

That's a really neat rig. I can see a lot of utility for something like that on the rivers here in Texas, but to date have not seen one in use. Thanks for the video. Always interesting to see how things are done in different parts of the country, and how they can potentially be applied my area.

[@HaightsWanderings]

@Shane Lowe Thanks for the comment, Shane. The rafts are super useful and I am sure someone in Texas has one :)

[@decolonizedmeateater]

Very nice . Would like to see your process for loading and unloading (assisted or unassisted) into your truck. Thanks !

[@HaightsWanderings]

@Narb2007 I can definitely do a video showing that process. It's a bit difficult but can be done!

[@user-ct2gc4cu3b]

Hey man, good video. Random question: Where did you get your license sign that hangs off the frame of the boat? That one looks like it might have been state issued? We aren't required state tags on rafts here, but I want something similar I can use for branding our business. Looking for somebody that can make a custom print on whatever material those are made out of...

[@HaightsWanderings]

@user-ct2gc4cu3b I actually got something off Amazon. Some placard that I then attached marine grade lettering. There is a standard that is used on watercraft that Amazon has. I currently don't know the exact stuff - but it is a peal and stick decal that works very nicely!

[@Astarwulf]

Very cool, i've been trying to figure out an ultra light setup for river/lake exploration. Not being able to really lift more than 20lbs because of my spine is making it a little difficult.

[@HaightsWanderings]

@Astarvox The Hooligan Pack Raft is a 2-person raft which is pretty cool.

[@bigdudeps]

Great video - thanks for posting! Do you have the brand and model of your under the seat bins?

[@HaightsWanderings]

@Patrick Shaughnessy Honestly, no, I do not. They are the ones that Stealthcraft uses. I would give a call to the shop in Baldwin to ask. They don't have a specific brand that is visible.

[@bencole2547]

You should keep a stache of hot glue and spare rod tips. Broken rods suck but don't have to ruin trips

[@HaightsWanderings]

@Ben Cole Not a bad idea. I usually am only on day trips so I always have multiple rods. But for overnighters it's a good idea.

[@mde8979]

Where can you get the Tornado trays? I don't see them on their website.

[@HaightsWanderings]

@MD&E You need to reach out and email the owner. He does them separately I believe.

[@timhansen2577]

With just you and your stuff (solo), how shallow is the draft?

[@HaightsWanderings]

@Tim Hansen Probably 3 inches or so. It's not much at all.

[@timothythompson6549]

Are the sides and floor separate chambers?

[@HaightsWanderings]

@Timothy Thompson Yes, the floor is one, and then there are 4 different air tubes for the sides.
