I bought a used cataraft recently and I am now in the process of rigging it for a week long trip this June. We are going to a little known river in Oregon for my 65th birthday. The boat is 16 feet long and will haul about 1,200 pounds. It is an Aire jaguarondi with a large aluminum frame holding two pontoons. The frame has no floor so I am building one with nylon mesh and some 3/4 inch plywood. The frame fits a very large Igloo cooler and an aluminum dry box with a waterproof gasket. It has been down the Grand Canyon three times. I will propel the boat with an oar rig and 9 foot oars. Rafting is something I really miss. It is easy to bring great food, furniture and even cold beer. Yippee.
