Thread: 13' raft on Nelson area rivers

I did a rafting/hunting trip down the Grey years ago. Was a good trip looking back but we did flip the rafting and nearly drowned the dog. Was pretty hectic.
I did a rafting course and a bit of guiding 25 years ago so have got a reasonable idea of what works.
Looking at that rafting I would say if you flipped it you would probably bend frames and smash those seats off pretty quickly.
Looks like a good raft for a mellow river or lake.
Could be worth looking for an ex commercial set up from one of the local operators...
If I was doing it I would loose the frame and oars and get the family involved in paddling. Also a bigger rafting would be more suitable as I think you said 4 people? Plus gear and the odd animal.
NRS gear is top notch btw
