The Outfitter™ — Built Tough for Normal or Expedition Use

A tough river runner for commercial or expedition use, the Outfitter is available in either steel or aluminum, one-piece or take-down configurations, and has several options available.

The Standard Outfitter model has seats and room for a cooler, with a Skidgard™ rower's seat over the rear thwart (with an adjustable footbar) and another Skidgard seat over the front thwart for passengers. The cooler sits in a frame behind the passenger seat.

In expedition configuration, the Outfitter is available with aluminum dry boxes. Just order the optional Packer Bars, and the aluminum dry boxes will drop between the bars and rest on welded brackets. Oarlock stands bolt to plates on side rails and are adjustable. The dropped center section holds the cooler frame and footbar, and has riveted nylon cooler retention straps.

Cargo/ Cooler Modules

Providing a high degree of flexibility, these separate modules allow you to use your single-tube catarafts alone or in any combination. Use the Rower and/or the Cargo Modules with short catarafts, or all three with a larger (i.e. 14-foot or more) cataraft.

Featuring racks for an adjustable tractor-style seat, the Rower Module is 48-inches long with adjustable oarlock stands, an adjustable footbar and a Skidgard floor.

The 40-inch Passenger Module has a Skidgard bench seat and floor.

The 30-inch Cargo has a Skidgard floor only.

Given sufficient raft capacity, you could replace the rower and passenger seats with dry boxes.

Standard modules are of steel construction in a single unit construction. Aluminum construction and take-down versions are available as options.

Center width is generally 44-inches for 14-foot/24-inch tube catarafts, but may be modified.
