The Down River Arkansas 3-Bay Double Rail Cataraft Frame XD has all the day trip features as our Arkansas single rail with the addition of an interior side rail for better stability and gear lash down points. This set up is perfect on a set of 14ft cat tubes or smaller and can hold all the gear necessary for one or two people. Have a passenger? Add a front kickbar and your partner is along for the ride without the worry of falling in.. maybe!  Rowing solo? Move the rowing compartment forward for better weight distribution and an up front view of all the action. The Down River Arkansas 3-Bay Double Rail Cataraft Frame XD includes oar towers. (Shown with optional accessories)

 

Every Down River frame is custom designed and built to specifically fit your boat and your needs. We do not believe in the one size fits all approach. When you purchase a DRE frame, we will set the length and width to fit your boat and the bay openings to accommodate your gear.  All frames are built onsite which gives us great flexibility in meeting your needs.  We design our frames with safety and functionality in mind. Only Down River frames provide maximum storage in your cargo area by utilizing designs that don’t waste space. This will be custom built just for you. A Down River frame designer will contact you after your order is received or call us with questions prior to ordering.
