Product Details

Whether run as paddle-crew play boat, decked out for fishing or loaded up for multiday adventures, the Patriot 140 Raft is a do-it-all kind of boat. Self-bailing, tough, abrasion-resistant, with Made-in-USA material.

NRS Patriot Series Rafts give you the world-famous NRS quality and performance at a price private boaters love.
This boat is patterned similarly to the NRS Expedition 140 and Otter 140; designs prized for being able to maneuver in smaller streams while being large enough to handle multiday loads.
With 21" tubes and a 7'3" width, the Patriot 140 has plenty of flotation for large loads and big-water stability.
Will seat 8-9 paddlers with optional third thwart.
Rugged, high-tech XR-Mariner™ material resists UV degradation, abrasion, tearing and puncture.
Made in the U.S., XR-Mariner is coated with a proprietary DuPont™ Elvaloy® compound.
Elvaloy, an advanced synthetic polymer, is known for its long-term wear properties and flexible, "soft hand" characteristics. Use Clifton Urethane Adhesive, Item #38700.01, to add foot cups, D-rings and to make any repairs.
Bottoms and tops of the side tubes are armored with a double layer of XR-Mariner material for extra wear protection.
12 stainless steel 2" D-rings give plenty of tie-down points for frame and gear.
Four handles make carrying it to the water a breeze.
Three main tube air chambers (plus floor and two thwarts) to keep you afloat in the event of an accident.
Self-bailing floor with quick-draining holes allows you to leave the bucket at home.
Trouble-free Leafield™ C7 Valves ensure easy inflation/deflation of the tubes, thwarts and floor, and the Leafield A6 Pressure Relief Valve protects the floor.
The NRS BAT™ (Batten Attachment Thwart system) lets you easily add or remove thwarts to accommodate paddlers or a rowing frame.
5-year retail warranty, 3-year commercial.
