The E-132D was awarded a Gear of the Year Award from Outside Magazine in 2009!
The E-132D raft is our smallest diminishing tube boat. As the tubes diminish towards the bow and stern of the boat, large front and rear compartments are created for significantly more cargo space than a traditional round tube design. The E-132D is built with less kick than our other designs making it ideal as a paddle raft - the guide can dig off the stern easier, the paddlers at the bow get a lot wetter ride, and the boat itself cuts through waves with ease to ensure you make the line. Built with our toughest 1670-denier Hypalon and extensive HD40 floor armor.
Revised Expedition Series
For those boaters who habitually venture out to battle the sharpest rocks, swiftest currents and generally ugliest conditions, NRS developed the "Expedition Series Rafts." The features of this series include an extra heavy-duty floor and tubes constructed with 1670 denier/48 oz. Hypalon®, an additional wide swath of commercial-grade HD-40 floor armor, a four-chamber tube construction, 6-8 EasyCarry™ handles, 14 stainless steel 2" D-rings, removable thwarts with the exclusive NRS BAT™ (Batten Attachment Thwarts) System and an extra heavy-duty wear patch to ensure full protection. Expedition rafts are available in our popular self-bailing floor with quick-draining holes and a pressure relief valve. Trouble-free Leafield™ valves ensure easy inflation. Strong enough to stand up to all the abuse outfitters can dish-out, this is the ultimate river workhorse. If you are a private boater, consider this the last boat you may ever have to buy. 10-year warranty, 5-year commercial
Repair kit included.
Alternative colors may be available for fleet orders.
