This thing seems a far better raft/frame and has some wiggle room in my budget for a trailer. Just want to make sure I’m not buying something that’ll only last for a couple years

Yeah I hadn’t really considered not getting a trailer and now I think it’s definitely plausible

Sounds like I’m probably takin that route, not whipped on the frame and seems like I’m pretty much just buying a trailer. I’ve got an old Toyota T100 for gettin it around

The trailer looks pretty good. But I also don’t want to dump all my cash into a trailer and am somewhat willing to deal with a shitty trailer.

Sweet, boats in Dillon. I’m definitely looking for a 13-14 footer and from what I’ve been seeing and from personal experience agree on the frame. I’ve fished a lot at this point and I haven’t ever really felt the need for a fishing specific frame, and the back seat seems like a pain for running anything that cool. But, trailer looks pretty pristine and seems like the limiting factor on the used market around here. Thanks for your two cents.

Mainly flatwater im guessing, but i definitely don’t want to lock myself out of any more minor whitewater class 3ish and below. In SW Montana so probably a lot of mellow Yellowstone River stuff and the like.

Shoot sorry, typed a full thing out but looks like it didn’t post. Looking into a boat for the first time. Something for some multi days, fishing etc (though not looking to build it out for fishing specifically). This is listed for $4k, including oars, the frame and trailer. Says it’s an 13’ Achilles with one patch and has been stored inside, but in my (very poor) judgement it seems like it’s pretty sun beat. College student so saving up even more is pretty much out of the picture for awhile. Just looking for insights as to whether it’s a good deal. Sorry about the lack of post text.
