Product Details

Specifics about this item: This 2008 Expedition raft was used as a demo boat on the East Coast. It has some wear spots and staining (shown in the product images). A factory-repaired floor I-beam is the only repair. It's not as beautiful as it once was, but it will make you a great gear hauler or big-party paddle boat. At this price there's no warranty.
With a narrower width and more pointed bow, the E-161 will conquer big rapids without smoothing out the waves.
The flat stern operates as a guide platform and the lower rocker there improves paddling performance.
Four thwarts provide room for up to 12 paddlers plus a guide.
Heavy-duty Pennel Orca® material is super abrasion, chemical and UV-resistant for unmatched durability.
Full-coverage HD40 floor armor on the bottoms and sides of the tubes guards your boat from the wear and tear of boulders and beaches.
Four main tube air chambers give you extra security in emergency situations.
Self-bailing floor with quick-draining holes allows you to leave the bucket at home.
14 2" D-rings and 8 handles make rigging and launching the E-161 a snap.
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.
Built outfitter tough, this may be the last raft the private boater will ever need to buy.
