156D

Need a big raft for your crew, but don’t want to compromise agility for size? Maybe it’s time for an AIRE 156D … The 156D is a big, agile raft. It’s right at home with up to a 9 person paddle team, including the guide, or it can be outfitted with a frame for multi-day river trips. You don’t have buy a barge to get some extra room for your crew. Keep it lively with a 156D.

What makes the AIRE 156D special?

  • Diminished Bow and Stern Tubes: 156D side tubes are 22” in diameter, giving you plenty of floatation. The bow and stern tube diameter diminishes down to 19″ which makes for an action-packed ride.
  • Continuous Curve Design: The 156D incorporates continuous curve design, increasing its performance. Reducing seams on the underside of the boat also helps them last longer.
  • Versatile Size: With the 156D, you get fifteen and a half feet for people and gear. It’s a fun paddle boat as well as a reliable craft for extended rowing trips.

SELF-BAILING RAFT - FLOOR SYSTEMS

Two different types of self-bailing floor pockets are available for all AIRE brand rafts.
The Regular Floor Pocket comes standard with all AIRE rafts while the Sealed Floor Pocket is optional ($620).

The Regular Floor Pocket (RFP)

HOW IT’S BUILT:
The (RFP) is constructed by sewing the PVC floor top and bottom to a zipper
along the perimeter edge of the floor pocket.
An air floor AIREcell is placed inside the pocket which keeps the floor rigid and
buoyant.
Drain holes are built into the bottom of the floor pocket.


DESIGN ADVANTAGES:
Aids in tracking and stability.
While on the river, water will enter the drain holes and add ballast to the boat.
This extra ballast creates a low center of gravity which helps the raft ‘stick’ to
the water and can sometimes help prevent a flip.


RECOMMENDED FOR:
This design comes standard with all our rafts.
Great choice for paddle rafts of all size

 

 

  

The Sealed Floor Pocket (SFP)


HOW IT’S BUILT:
The (SFP) is constructed by welding the PVC floor top and bottom together along
the perimeter to form a waterproof pocket.
1 watertight zipper is installed on the floor top to access the air floor AIREcell.
3 valves are installed. The inflation valve, the pressure relief valve and a burp valve
that relieves air pressure caught between the AIREcell and the floor pocket.


DESIGN ADVANTAGES:
The SFP does not take on any water to ballast, this will make the raft slightly faster
and more responsive in whitewater.
Owners don’t have to wait a couple minutes at the take out for water to drain out
of the raft floor pocket.
No need to rinse out the floor pocket after trips down silty rivers.


RECOMMENDED FOR:
Good choice for rowing large, gear hauling rafts.
Rivers that require portages.
The SFP is a good option when mostly running silty rivers.

*Floors do not come installed – call 801-455-5450 to add an install (additional fee) to your order.
