- In stock, ready to ship
- Backordered, shipping soon
Anglers who frequently hop in and out of their boats or prefer to fish unobstructed will love the versatility of the Oxbow 85’s fully open bow design.
Purpose-built for fishing lakes, ponds and flatwater, its lightweight portability makes it easy to access harder-to-reach waters in comfort and stability, challenging the status quo of where an angler can fish.
- Oars and a micro-frame enhance angler's efficiency when crossing flatwater and navigating light current.
- Fully open bow lets anglers use fins (not included) to manage drifting and easily hop in and out to patrol the bank.
- Engineered for ultimate durability with welded seam tube construction and rugged PVC materials, plus bottom and top wear patches.
- Mesh Stripping Apron is durable and quick draining for on the go fly line management and rolls up when not in use.
- Two air chambers feature Leafield™ C7 valves for easy, reliable inflation and deflation. Valves are positioned out of the way to eliminate catch points.
- Suspended mesh cargo floor in the stern provides storage for gear.
- Ultra-light Slot Rail frame attaches to the boat with four NRS straps (included).
- Slot-rail frame accepts YakAttack accessories—rod holders, cup holders, etc.—for easy customization.
- Cushioned bench seat features a folding fishing seatback and attaches to the Slot Rails using two side rails.
- Side storage trays secure to the Slot Rails and easily adjust for angler preference.
- Foot brace increases stability when rowing. D-ring attachment gives three positions for angler comfort.
- Oar rests integrate into NRS straps, getting oars out of the water and out of the way to prevent line snags when casting.
- Nine D-Rings attach the frame and gear, plus an additional fabric lash point in the stern.
- Two handles for carrying and transport.
- Includes full-size adjustable oar mounts, NRS Advantage LT Oars and Mini-Helix blades.
- 5-year retail warranty, 3-year commercial.
