The best inflatable raft?

[Propwash]

So......Looking at buying a little inflatable raft to do a bit of fishing from, on a secluded lake near my land in the sticks. Decided to check out some reviews on a certain raft on Amazon. A couple things are apparent....Certain rafts excel with certain activities I guess, and Amazon does not filter their reviews too well. Check out the first review on page 2

Warning..."Descriptive"

Kodiak Makes great inflatables, pricey thou... not sure about your budget
I haven't had any in a few years now, had one allot like this, for 20 something years, I no longer have it...

http://www.inflatableboats.com/Zodiak-Fish-N-Hunt-310S-ZFISHHUNT310S.htm ,

never purchased from that supplier either, they're on sale

like $700-$2900 for a 1 or 2 man, $800 fish & hunt or basic rafts even,
they might make cheaper ones

Maybe Bass Pro would have an inexpensive raft,
sorry I see the one you listed was only $49

I was wondering what was up,
I thought you were looking for a inflatable raft, didn't look at the second page of reviews...

prop, have you priced the zodiacs? from the "tender" line?

(I have no idea, just... being prior military and such it's a name I am familiar with)

Hey Prop,

NRS are very popular here in Montana for river floating. They are considered some of the best rafts you can purchase, they also hold their resale value based on the NRS name.

Hey thanks for the leads on the rafts fella's! Needless to say i'm looking more for features geared towards fishing and not bed Olympics. Took the nephew out on a couple cheapo inflatable rafts this weekend. Small lake, with no roads to it, just a trail through the forest...about 4 miles from my plot. Tied into a pile of these big gills






Limited out! Had a blast! Anyways, one thing is for certain...the Mill's Fleet Farm inflatable dinghy's aren't gonna cut it. One dorsal fin through the raft, sitting in tipped over beer and worm guts, peanut brittle oars and spinning in circles like a fair ride gone wrong, made the trip interesting to say the least. Fish were biting and the beer was cold, so it was tolerable. I'll be checking up on the leads you guys posted. Thank you!

 

[northerndave]

How about a canoe? Get a set of portage pads so you can put it up on your shoulders and away you go. look for something like a used alum Grumman or alumacraft.

That's a dandy blue gill by the way, awesome!

 

[Budnicks]

nice pan fryers there Prop

 

[MarPar]

hot damn Will! now that's a JUMBO blue gill! whoooo-weee!

Really enjoyed your description of the fishing trip Will. Brought back lots of memories of trying to do the manly job of fishing with poor quality tools, plus memories of fishing in the Lakewood area. Had a great laugh, thank you.
