Maxxon Rafts and Catarafts Sales and Demos

Dreamflyfishing.com is proud to offer Washington and Oregon fly fishers the chance to own a Maxxon raft or cataraft.  Please let us know if you would like to try one out.  The boats we fish and guide out of are always for sale and available for demos.  Fish On, David Child (david@dreamflyfishing.com) and David Duvall (david@catchercraft.com)
Sales Representatives For: Maxxon Rafts and Catarafts, though David Duvall now runs www.catchercraft.com

     

These whitewater rafts are built with the same integrity and craftsmanship you would expect from Maxxon as they are built to withstand the ruggedness and durability of commercial guide services.

A couple of newly added features include:

  • 1100 denier, 32 oz. fabric throughout the entire raft with the underside completely built up to 3200 denier for added protection from rocks and sharp objects.
  • Grab line around entire raft.
  • 7" I-beam floor with a pressure relief valve.
  • Chafing pads around the entire seating area of the rafts.
  • Extra foot holds for the "Guide" and all passengers.
  • 3/4" bailing "scuppers" every 6" around entire floor of raft.
  • Gray colored floors and underside for heat and sunlight dispersion.
  • The rafts are available in two lengths. The SB-380 is 12' in overall length and the SB-430 is 14'4" in overall length.

All rafts are sold complete with paddles, air pump, and repair kit.

All rafts carry a five year bow to stern warranty as expected from Maxxon.
