At IDAHO ADVENTURE GEAR, we believe in highly functional and durable equipment that gets the job done. We use only the finest gear available…and we build the rest.
When not on the trails of Idaho, we spend a lot of time on the water. With so many lakes and rivers there are lots of options for recreational boating. From paddle boarding to whitewater rafting to pontoon lake boating, we pretty much do it all. With a steady whitewater lineage, we use inflatables for our boating applications. With the right raft frame, whitewater inflatables can suddenly become high performance machines. Many raft frames, and boats for that matter, are too heavy. Don’t settle for outdated, overweight, traditional watercraft any longer.
Inflatables have become very advanced in the last decade or two. We use only AIRE inflatables, which are some of the finest rafts in the world. They utilize high-performance, durable, and easy to repair designs. Inflatable boats are very safe for all kinds of water. Inflatable boat hulls aren’t easily ruptured by running aground. If you do manage to rip a hole in one, you have other chambers to help keep you afloat. Most inflatable rafts have four or more chambers and it is very unlikely that you would puncture all of them at once. Inflatable boats have safety as a key advantage over displacement-hull boats. If a traditional displacement boat develops a hole or flips upside down, it can sink pretty easily. This is not so with inflatables. When an inflatable raft flips upside down, you have a floating platform to climb up onto. When you’re ready, you can right the overturned boat by flipping it back over.
We feature lightweight thinwall steel conduit in all of our boat frames. Steel is much stronger than other boat materials and is also less expensive. Don’t be oversold and underbuilt with conventional raft frames. Many boats are either too heavy, not strong enough or they’re very expensive. IDAHO ADVENTURE GEAR raft frames feature the perfect strength to weight ratio. Demanding whitewater and motorized applications require strong boats, and our frames deliver. We use only galvanized steel for its excellent corrosion resistance.
Our boat frames have many custom storage options and configurations that others do not. We feature PELICAN hard cases in conjunction with innovative designs to optimize functionality. By working with companies like AIRE and PELICAN, we are able to produce a high-quality product that functions as a complete system. All equipment is only as good as its components. Our boating systems provide a reliable platform that you can depend on. Safety, strength and maneuverability are paramount when designing performance watercraft. Be sure to check our RAFT FRAMES page for updates as we are always building new custom designs. Make the transition from old heavy boats and steer clear of other products that can cost a fortune.
