The "Barge"

The 16-foot raft is rented only for rowing. It is popular as a cargo carrying boat set up with two large aluminum dry boxes and a huge 176-quart cooler. You can rent the raft with one cargo deck in the back and have passengers sit on the dry box in the front or rent it with a cargo deck in the back and the front for maximum carrying capacity.

We use this raft on our guided four-day fishing trips on Oregon's Deschutes River. All the camp equipment and personal gear for 16 people fits in and on this boat.
