Guest 420FLYFISHIN Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 just wondering what the make and model of the rafts that they use, i love the cut out bottom design. I know they are around $1500 but is there any one making a knock off yet or something similar? Thanks 'Jeremy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harps Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Very nice type of boat... I'd like one. There are only a few that I know of: The WaterStrider Very good Rating!! ~$1600 USD The Access EXP (Wilderness Access) ~$1200 USD and the WaterMaster from Big Sky Inflatables (New website since I last looked). ~$1400 USD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acurrie Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 The Watermaster ones look awesome. the Bottom is open like a pontoon boat, but u can get casting platform. They only weigh like 23lbs and fold into a backpack, and they are rated for 500lbs. They have 3 models, the grizzly, the Kodiak and a 2 maner. the cheapest is like $1200. It would be fun to take one of these down an Alaskan wilderness river for a week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have three of these boats and have owned them for 5 years now, still as good as they day i bought them after 250 + day's on the water. I own two grizzlies and a kodiak. In my Humble opinion they are hands down the best kickboat around. The Grizz is a little smaller and probably better suited for someone under 6 foot. The Kodiak is a little longer and it elongated to minimize drag on the water, I have a deal worked out with Watermaster to buy boats just over cost as they have used my videos for promo events. I don't think anyone is selling these boats in Canada yet, as the last time i talked to them they were looking for a local canadian distribution outlet. Drop me a PM if anyone is looking for one of these boats or wants to see one up close and personal. Total weight with oars, pump and dry bags is around 60 pounds. Toss in your waders vest boots and lunch and it's quite a workout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 420FLYFISHIN Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 i might have to save up some extra $$ but i think i will have one by the summer. I dont like the belly boats because after a day of kicking my knees start to hurt and i dont like pontoons because of the wieght issue for going back country.
