Product Details

Fishermen love it. Paddle boaters love it. Anyone running tight, technical water loves it. The NRS Patriot 142 gets lots of love. Self-bailing, tough, abrasion-resistant, with Made-in-USA material.

NRS Patriot Series Rafts give you world-famous NRS quality and performance at a price private boaters love.
This boat is patterned similarly to the NRS Expedition 142 and Otter 142; designs especially prized by fishermen.
With 21" tubes and a 6'8" width, the Patriot 142 has a sleek profile for tight stream maneuvering, while still having plenty of interior cargo space and flotation for the people and gear you want to haul.
Will seat 6-8 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 comfortable 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.
