1984 18' Rogue raft with frame, oars, repair kit
Posted: Sep 21 2014 11:09 am
Hey all,
Due to some personal changes in my life that are occurring now I need to sell my river raft. It is historic - it belonged to Ken Sleight (aka Seldom Seen Smith) and was used as part of Sleight Expeditions - it still has those original markings on the raft. Sleight's son sold the business to High Desert Adventures and the raft went with it. HDA was eventually absorbed into Arizona Raft Adventures. We purchased the raft from AzRA in 2008. It was used for most of its life on the Colorado River through Grand Canyon. Since we've owned it we've run the San Juan with it twice - all other times it has been stored indoors out of the sun. We have put one patch on it in 2009 which was still holding the last time we inflated it. It is an awesome boat and great for someone looking to pick up a raft or rafting in general for cheap. Downsides: it is not a self bailer so you will need to be active on the pump and bucket. It was originally a four chambered boat but sometime during AzRA's ownership a baffle blew. It doesn't affect its ability to remain afloat, it just has one fewer air chamber than designed.
We're including:
The raft
The frame
Four oars
A repair kit
Manual inflation pump.
We're looking at $1,000 firm.
PM, reply, or give me a phone call if you are interested. I'd be willing to meet and deliver anywhere between Black Canyon City and Tucson. I'm sad to be getting rid of it but life changes happen.
