Comments about NRS E-136 Self-Bailing Rafts:
I love this boat, i have owned it for a year and it has seen westwater canyon 10+ times, cataract canyon, and the Grand Canon (21,000cfs). So far she has stayed up-right for me. it has performed wonderfully on single day trips as well as long trips. took it down cataract canon in three days while supporting a kayaker. I took this boat on a 22 day December grand canon trip (also supporting a kayaker) and the boat was full but not overloaded. i would also like to mention that i did not have to add air the entire 22 days.I have heard people complain about the weight of this boat, but i blame it on extra durability, i purchased the boat from a company that went under, it has never needed a patch and holds air like a champ, despite its age (6+ years). over all this boat has exceeded my expectations and helped me become a better boater.

Comments about NRS E-136 Self-Bailing Rafts:
This is my favorite boat! It has more rocker than the E-140 and takes on giant waves and holes. Yet it's nimble enough to spin on a dime. It's much more manuverable than a typical 14 footer, yet carries almost as much. I've taken it on numerous camping trips of 3-5 days with a passenger, although you need to pack light for longer trips. It's a bit crowded and sluggish with 6 people (or more. I've had 7), but with 4-5 it paddles fast.
This is a playfull workhorse or hard working sporty raft
