Product Details

With the feel and response of a cat, the Star Lightning Bug Self-Bailing Raft can be paddled or rowed making it one of the most versatile boats in the entire Star fleet. The Star Self-Bailing Bug Series combines the performance of a cataraft with the convenience of a traditional raft.

Specifics about this item: This boat was a part of the Star Inflatables demo fleet. It is in like-new condition.
Self-bailing bugs are Star's most popular boat for commercial fishing guides and multi-day trippers looking for high capacity with low maintenance.
Symmetrical diminishing tube construction and a 12" raised 4000 denier PVC floor let only the side tubes touch the water, resulting in increased speed, unmatched tracking and easy rowing.
The Bug Series' unique tube and raised floor design creates cataraft-like stability, making it harder to side flip.
The overlap seam construction with 400 denier seam tape includes heat-welded inner seams and hand glued outer seams to ensure better air retention, optimal strength and unmatched durability.
Top-quality Leafield C7 valves ensure trouble free inflation and deflation.
Features two removable 11" diameter thwarts with Quik-E attachment system.
Two double reinforced nylon handles, six reinforced 2" stainless steel d-rings and two reinforced 1.3" stainless steel d-rings.
Whether paddled with a small crew or rigged with a NRS frame, the Lightning Bug won't disappoint.
5-year retail warranty, 3-year commercial.
