Their reasoning seems pretty spot on:
I’m sorry to hear this. Nice folks and a solid operation. But we were their last rental boat off the river a couple of years ago, on July 7th, when the river was dropping really fast. Makes a short rental season, even on a great river. Maybe we’ll buy an IK, and get an extra-big breakfast next year during the stoneflies. I’ll bet their guided trips are sweet.

I was wondering about that, when I was contemplating picking up a raft those were on the top of my list.
I had been eyeing the 96 for a while. When they initially discounted it I pulled the trigger. A couple of weeks later they dropped it even more. I reached out and they refunded me the difference. I think this is a helluva deal. I don’t think you can buy the components to build the frame for much less than this. I had been looking at building a frame for my striker but this was easier. It also costs less than the used striker I got a few years ago. I’m looking forward to trying it out soon. People that I would see on the river with one were really pleased with it.
Just got an email that Gig Harbor Fly Shop has a couple of these in stock at that same price. Save yourself the overweight shipping fee!Looks like NRS discontinued their slipstream fishing rafts. Looks like a pretty good price for a brand new 2 person framed raft:
NRS Slipstream 96 Fishing Raft Packages
The NRS Slipstream 96 Self-Bailing Raft Packages feature our smallest fishing raft. The 9'6" Slipstream is designed specifically to fit in most standard truck beds fully inflated. It's the perfect boat for a rower and one angler looking to Catch the Adventure™.
The boat is worth more than the asking price. AND a 10hp Honda motor to boot! Won't last long for sure...This might be worth a look for someone wanting a small, glass lake boat:

Have to have shoulder surgery next week. So I’m going to be out of work for 4 months, so I’m trying to clear the shop out and save money for bills before hand. Fun little boat for fishing lakes or...seattle.craigslist.org
